And they are known now-a-days as Nestorians. DI08COKC3 Then Theodosius, king of Rum, made Dioscorus patriA.iX444 arch of Alexandria, in the second 39th Eut. year of his reign. In his days appeared the sect of Eutakhi Eutyches, J a presbyter of Constantinople, who gave out that the body of the Messiah was subtile, without any resemblance to our bodies; and that the Son took nothing from Mary. Against him one hundred and thirty bishops gathered themselves and anathematised him. At Alexandria also, on the day of the Passover, a multitude of Jews consorted together and crucified a figure in the form of the Messiah, and mocked it; whence fol John, in consequence, excommunicated Cyril, and Simon bishop of Ephesus; whereupon a dissension took place, through such an absurd conduct on the part of John. But they were afterwards reconciled by Theodosius. t See " Nestorianismi Originea," in Assem. Bibl. Or. vol. iv, c. 3, p. 67, sq., for every information on Barsumas, bishop of Nisibis, and on the Nestorians in general. J Eutyshius, as written by Eutych. ad loc. p. 84. lowed a dreadful slaughter of both Christians and Jews on either side; on account of which the king sent an army, and put to death most of the Jews in Alexandria. The fourth of the synods of Christians took place in the city of Chalcedon; and the cause of it was this. Dioscorus, patriarch of Alexandria, said that the Messiah was one substance out of two substances, one person out of two persons, one nature out of two natures, and one will out of two wills; while the opinion of Marcianus, who was then king of Rum, and of the people of his...

I.--An account of the Qibt of Misr Copts of Egypt; of their ancient religions; of how they became Christians, and then, afterwards, subjects of the Moslem Mussulmans, with the events relating thereto Know that all people who follow the divine laws of the prophets, on whom be peace! such as Mussulmans, Jews, and Christians, are all agreed that Nuht Noah, on whom be peace! is the second father of mankind, and successor of Adam, on whom be peace! So that in Noah are centered, and from him God most High has brought out, all the children of Adam; neither is there. one from among the children of Adam, who is not of those of Noah. The Nabatheans, the magi, and the people of Hind and of Sin China, do not believe in him, and deny the flood. J Some of them, indeed, hold that the flood hap Translated from the Arabic of Taqi ed-din el-Maqrlzi, ed. Wustenfeld, 1845. t Noah is very frequently mentioned in the Qoran, as in Sur, xrrvii. v. 74 sq. "Consider then, what has been the end of devoted men, besides sincere servants of God. When Noah cried unto us---and well be it to those who bow down themselves--we delivered him and his family from the great anguish; and we made his descendants the remnant on earth." also Sur. xxxvi. v. 104, sq.; Ixxi, v. 1, sq.; xiv. 26, etc. J This is not the place to enter into details; but El-Maqrizi is not quite right.
