Ἀπολογία,
DefensioHe was an opponent of the Latin church, and wrote an Ἀπολογία,
Defensio, or
Διάλεξις,
Disceptatio, a discussion with Peter,
archbishop of Milan, in the presence of the emperor. If this is the work which Joannes
Veccus cites and replies to in his
De Unione Ecclesiarum Oratio
(apud Allatium,
Graecia Orthodoxa, vol. i. p. 179, &c.), it
appears that the form of a dialogue was merely assumed for convenience sake, and that it was
not the record of a real conference.
