What it is

A long self-defence written in exile under a pseudonym, arguing that the author had never taught what he was condemned for and welcoming Leo's Tome as his own position.

Why it lasted

Recovered in Syriac in 1895, it reopened the question of whether the founder of Nestorianism was actually a Nestorian.

Where to read it

Public domain and free to read in full, though not held here. The archives below have it.

These open a search on each archive rather than a direct link, which is the honest way to point at an edition nobody here has checked line by line.
