What it is
A newly elected patriarch's statement of faith, insisting against the imperial compromise that Christ has two natural activities, not one.
Why it lasted
The opening of the monothelite controversy, written by the man who would shortly surrender Jerusalem to the Caliph Umar.
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.
