Chapter 42

42PL 16:929a–929c

Sabinus episcopus dixit: « Pro Ario non respondes, ad interrogata non respondes? » Palladius dixit: « Pro Ario ego non respondi. » Sabinus episcopus dixit: « Usque adeo respondisti, ut Filium Dei negares potentem, negares verum Deum. » Palladius dixit: « Ego te judicem non patior, quem impietatis arguo. » Sabinus episcopus dixit: « Ipse nos coegisti sedere. » Palladius dixit: « Mandavi ut sederetis, ut arguerem vos. Quare subripuistis imperatori? Ut plenum concilium non esset, subripuistis. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Cum Arii impietates legerentur, et impietas tua pariter condemnata est, quae consensit Arianæ impietati. Placuit tibi in epistola media lectionem proponere, quam volebas: responsum tibi est quemadmodum Filius Patrem majorem dixerit, eo quod secundum carnis susceptionem Pater major est eo. Proposuisti etiam subjectum esse Filium Dei; et in hoc responsum tibi est, quia subjectus Filius Dei secundum carnem est, non secundum divinitatem. Habes professionem nostram, nunc audi cetera. Quoniam tibi responsum est, responde ad ea, quæ leguntur. »

Bishop Sabinus said: "You do not answer for Arius; do you not answer the questions put to you?" Palladius said: "I have not answered for Arius." Bishop Sabinus said: "You answered so far as to deny that the Son of God is mighty, and to deny that he is true God." Palladius said: "I do not accept you as judge, whom I accuse of impiety." Bishop Sabinus said: "You yourself compelled us to sit." Palladius said: "I sent word that you should sit, so that I might refute you. Why did you creep up on the emperor? You crept up on him so that there would not be a full council." Bishop Ambrose said: "When the impieties of Arius were read, your impiety too was condemned along with them, since it agreed with the Arian impiety. It pleased you to bring forward, in the middle of the letter, the reading you wished; you were answered how the Son called the Father greater: that according to the taking up of flesh the Father is greater than he. You also put forward that the Son of God is subject; and on this too you were answered that the Son of God is subject according to the flesh, not according to the divinity. You have our profession; now hear the rest. Since you have been answered, answer the things that are read."

Notes and citation

Summary: Ambrose sums up the answers given to Palladius on the Father as greater and the Son as subject, and demands that he answer in turn.

43PL 16:929c–929a

Palladius dixit: « Non tibi respondeo; quia quæcumque ego dixi, non sunt scripta: vestra tantummodo scribuntur verba: non vobis respondeo. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Omnia vides scribi. Denique quæ scripta sunt, abundant ad tuæ impietatis indicium. » Et addidit: « Creaturam dicis Christum, an negas? » Palladius dixit: « Non respondeo. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Ante horam citra acta, cum legeretur quia Arius dixit creaturam Christum, negasti: oblatum est tibi, ut damnares perfidiam, noluisti: vel nunc dic utrum natus ex Patre Christus sit, an creatus? » Palladius dixit: « Si vultis, exceptores nostri veniant, et sic totum excipiatur. » Sabinus episcopus dixit: « Adducat suos exceptores. » Palladius dixit: « Pleno concilio vobis respondebimus. »

Palladius said: "I am not answering you, because whatever I have said is not written down; only your words are written. I do not answer you." Bishop Ambrose said: "You see that everything is being written. Indeed, what has been written is more than enough to show your impiety." And he added: "Do you call Christ a creature, or do you deny it?" Palladius said: "I do not answer." Bishop Ambrose said: "An hour ago, before the minutes, when it was read that Arius called Christ a creature, you denied it; it was put to you that you should condemn the faithlessness, and you would not. At least now say whether Christ was born of the Father, or created." Palladius said: "If you wish, let our stenographers come, and so let everything be taken down." Bishop Sabinus said: "Let him bring his stenographers." Palladius said: "We will answer you in a full council."

Notes and citation

Summary: Palladius complains that only the bishops' words are recorded and refuses to say whether Christ was born or created.

Chapter 44

44PL 16:929a–929b

Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Attalus in tractatu Nicaeni concilii subscripsit. Neget factum, quia venit ad concilium. Dicat hodie utrum subscripserit in tractatu Nicæni concilii, an non. » Cumque Attalus reticeret, Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Attalus presbyter licet inter Arianos sit, tamen habet auctoritatem loquendi: libere profiteatur utrum subscripserit in tractatu Nicaeni concilii sub episcopo suo Agrippino, an non. » Attalus dixit: « Jam dixisti me aliquoties damnatum: non tibi respondeo. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Subscripsisti in tractatu concilii Nicaeni, an non? » Attalus dixit: « Non tibi respondeo. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "Attalus subscribed to the proceedings of the Council of Nicaea. Let him deny the fact, since he has come to the council. Let him say today whether he subscribed to the proceedings of the Council of Nicaea or not." And when Attalus was silent, Bishop Ambrose said: "Attalus the presbyter, although he is among the Arians, nevertheless has the right to speak; let him freely declare whether he subscribed to the proceedings of the Council of Nicaea under his bishop Agrippinus, or not." Attalus said: "You have already said several times that I am condemned; I do not answer you." Bishop Ambrose said: "Did you subscribe to the proceedings of the Council of Nicaea, or not?" Attalus said: "I am not answering you."

Notes and citation

Summary: Ambrose asks the presbyter Attalus whether he once subscribed to the Nicene faith under his bishop Agrippinus; Attalus refuses to answer.

  • "The proceedings of the Council of Nicaea" (tractatus Nicaeni concilii): the Nicene creed, to which Attalus had evidently subscribed earlier.

45PL 16:929b

Palladius dixit: « Modo vultis tractatum plenum haberi, an non? » Chromatius presbyter dixit: « Creaturam non negasti, potentem negasti. Omnia negasti, quae fides catholica profitetur. » Sabinus episcopus dixit: « Testes sumus nos Attalum subscripsisse in concilio Nicaeno, et nunc nolle respondere. Quid cunctis videtur? Cumque Attalus reticeret, Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Dicat utrum subscripserit in tractatu concilii Nicaeni, an non? »

Palladius said: "Do you want a full hearing now, or not?" Chromatius the presbyter said: "You did not deny that he is a creature; you denied that he is mighty. You have denied everything that the catholic faith professes." Bishop Sabinus said: "We are witnesses that Attalus subscribed at the Council of Nicaea, and now will not answer. What does everyone think?" And when Attalus was silent, Bishop Ambrose said: "Let him say whether he subscribed to the proceedings of the Council of Nicaea, or not."

Notes and citation

Summary: Chromatius charges Palladius with denying the catholic faith; Sabinus testifies that Attalus had subscribed to Nicaea.

Chapter 46

46PL 16:929c

Palladius dixit: « Exceptor vester et noster stent, et omnia scribant. » Valerianus episcopus dixit: « Jam quae dixisti, et quae negasti, scripta sunt omnia. » Palladius dixit: « Dicite quod vultis. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Quia saepius vult damnari Palladius, qui jam frequenter damnatus est, lego epistolam Arii, quam ille noluit condemnare: profitemini quid vobis videtur? » Omnes episcopi dixerunt: « Legatur. » Et recitata est: « Nato autem non putative, » et reliqua. Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Respondi tibi de majore, respondi tibi et de subjecto: nunc et ipse responde. »

Palladius said: "Let your stenographer and ours stand by, and let them write everything." Bishop Valerian said: "What you have said and what you have denied has all been written already." Palladius said: "Say what you will." Bishop Ambrose said: "Since Palladius, who has often been condemned already, wishes to be condemned again and again, I am reading the letter of Arius, which he would not condemn. Declare what you think." All the bishops said: "Let it be read." And it was read: "Born, not in appearance," and so on. Bishop Ambrose said: "I have answered you about the greater; I have answered you also about the subject; now you answer too."

Notes and citation

Summary: Ambrose has Arius's letter read again ("born, not in appearance") and demands Palladius's answer.

  • "Born, not in appearance" (nato autem non putative): a phrase of Arius's letter to Alexander.

Chapter 47

47PL 16:929c–931a

Palladius dixit: « Non respondebo nisi auditores veniant post Dominicam diem. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Veneras tractaturus, sed posteaquam objeci tibi, vidisti epistolam Arii, quam damnare noluisti, asserere autem non potes; idcirco nunc refugis et cavillaris. Plenarie ipsam recito ad singula. Dic utrum Christus creatus videatur; an fuit, quando non fuit: an vero semper fuit unigenitus Dei Filius? Cum Arii epistolam audieris, aut damna, aut proba. »

Palladius said: "I will not answer unless hearers come, after the Lord's day." Bishop Ambrose said: "You had come to debate; but after I set before you the letter of Arius, which you would not condemn and cannot defend, you saw it, and therefore now you run away and quibble. I am reading the letter itself in full, point by point. Say whether Christ seems to you to have been created; or whether there was when he was not; or whether he was always the only-begotten Son of God. When you have heard the letter of Arius, either condemn it or approve it."

Notes and citation

Summary: Palladius asks for lay hearers after Sunday; Ambrose insists that he condemn or approve Arius's letter point by point.

Palladius dixit: « Cum impietatis te arguam, te judice non utor. Transgressor es. » Sabinus episcopus dixit: « Quas impietates objicis fratri nostro et consacerdoti nostro Ambrosio, dicito. » Palladius dixit: « Jam vobis dixi, pleno concilio respondebo, et a praesentibus auditoribus. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « In consessu fratrum meorum cupio confutari et redargui. Quid igitur impie dixerim, dicito: sed impius tibi videor, qui pietatem astruo. » Sabinus episcopus dixit: « Ergo impius tibi videtur, qui Arii blasphemias arguit? »

Palladius said: "Since I accuse you of impiety, I do not accept you as judge. You are a transgressor." Bishop Sabinus said: "Say what impieties you charge against our brother and fellow priest Ambrose." Palladius said: "I have already told you: I will answer in a full council, and before hearers present." Bishop Ambrose said: "In the assembly of my brothers I am eager to be refuted and convicted. Say, then, what I have said impiously; but I seem impious to you because I maintain true religion." Bishop Sabinus said: "So the one who refutes the blasphemies of Arius seems impious to you?"

Notes and citation

Summary: Palladius accuses Ambrose of impiety but will not say what it is.

Palladius dixit: « Ego non negavi bonum Filium Dei. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Dicis ergo Christum Deum bonum? » Palladius dixit: « Non vobis respondeo. » Valerianus episcopus dixit: « Nolite multum adigere Palladium, non potest vera nostra simpliciter confiteri. Ipsius enim conscientia duplici blasphemia confusa est; nam a Photinianis est ordinatus, et cum ipsis est damnatus: et nunc plenius damnabitur. Palladius dixit: « Hoc proba. » Sabinus episcopus dixit: « Non aliter poterat Christum verum negare, nisi auctores suos sequeretur. »

Palladius said: "I did not deny that the Son of God is good." Bishop Ambrose said: "Do you say, then, that Christ is good God?" Palladius said: "I do not answer you." Bishop Valerian said: "Do not press Palladius much; he cannot simply confess our true things. For his conscience is confounded by a double blasphemy: he was ordained by the Photinians, and was condemned together with them; and now he will be condemned more fully." Palladius said: "Prove this." Bishop Sabinus said: "He could not deny that Christ is true God otherwise than by following his own authors."

Notes and citation

Summary: Valerian of Aquileia charges that Palladius was ordained by Photinians and condemned with them.

  • "Our true things" renders "vera nostra" as printed; the sense may be "our true faith".

Tot impietates Arii Palladius noluit condemnare, immo potius asserendo confessus est. Hunc qui non damnat, similis illius est, et hæreticus jure dicendus est. » Omnes episcopi dixerunt: « A nobis omnibus anathema sit Palladio. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "You have charged that I am impious; prove it." Palladius said: "We will bring our exposition; and when we have brought it, then there will be a debate." Bishop Ambrose said: "Condemn the impiety of Arius." When Palladius was silent, Bishop Eusebius said: "He dwells on superfluous things. Palladius would not condemn so many impieties of Arius; rather, by asserting them he has confessed them. Whoever does not condemn him is like him and is rightly to be called a heretic." All the bishops said: "By all of us let Palladius be anathema."

Notes and citation

Summary: Palladius again refuses to condemn Arius, and all the bishops anathematize him.

Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Acquiescis, Palladi, ut caetera legantur Arii. » Palladius dixit: « Date auditores: veniant et ex utraque parte exceptores. Non potestis esse judices, si auditores non habuerimus; et nisi ex utraque parte venerint, qui audiant, non vobis respondemus. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Quos quæris auditores?» Palladius dixit: « Sunt hic viri honorati multi. » Sabinus episcopus dixit: « Post tot blasphemias auditores petis? » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Sacerdotes de laicis judicare debent, non laici de sacerdotibus. Sed tamen quos judices petas, dicito. » Palladius dixit: « Auditores veniant. » Chromatius presbyter dixit: « Salva condemnatione sacerdotali, quin et qui Palladii sunt. etiam nunc in pleno legantur. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "Do you agree, Palladius, that the rest of Arius's letter be read?" Palladius said: "Give us hearers: let stenographers too come from both sides. You cannot be judges if we have no hearers; and unless people come from both sides to hear, we do not answer you." Bishop Ambrose said: "What hearers do you seek?" Palladius said: "There are many men of rank here." Bishop Sabinus said: "After so many blasphemies you ask for hearers?" Bishop Ambrose said: "Priests ought to judge laymen, not laymen priests. But nevertheless, say what judges you seek." Palladius said: "Let hearers come." Chromatius the presbyter said: "Without prejudice to the condemnation by the priests, let the things that belong to Palladius be read even now before the full assembly."

Notes and citation

Summary: Palladius demands lay hearers; Ambrose replies that priests judge laymen, not laymen priests.

Palladius dixit: « Non permittuntur loqui.

Juxta ea quæ hodie audivimus Palladium profitentem, et juxta ea quae condemnare noluit, pronuntio illum sacerdotio indignum et carendum, ut in loco ejus catholicus ordinetur. » Omnes episcopi dixerunt: « Anathema Palladio. »

Palladius said: "They are not permitted to speak. Let hearers come, and stenographers from both sides, and these will answer you in a general council." Bishop Ambrose said: "Although he has been caught in many impieties, we are nevertheless ashamed that one who claims the priesthood for himself should seem to have been condemned by laymen; and for this reason he is to be condemned also in this very point, that he awaits the sentence of laymen, when rather priests ought to judge laymen. According to what we have heard Palladius profess today, and according to what he would not condemn, I pronounce him unworthy of the priesthood and to be deprived of it, so that a catholic may be ordained in his place." All the bishops said: "Anathema to Palladius."

Notes and citation

Summary: Ambrose pronounces Palladius unworthy of the episcopate and deposed, so that a catholic may be ordained in his place.

53PL 16:931c

Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Imperator clementissimus et christianus sacerdotum judicio causam, et ut ipsi arbitri essent altercationis, inquit, constituissemus. Quoniam igitur nobis judicium videtur delatum interpretes esse Scripturarum, condemnemus Palladium, qui impii Arii noluit damnare sententiam: et quia ipse Filium Dei sempiternum, et cætera quae actis inhaerent, negavit. Ergo anathema habeatur. » Omnes episcopi dixerunt: « Omnes condemnamus eum, anathema habeatur. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "The most clement and Christian emperor entrusted the case to the judgment of the priests, and said, 'we appointed them to be arbiters of the dispute.' Since, then, the judgment has been committed to us as interpreters of the Scriptures, let us condemn Palladius, who would not condemn the opinion of the impious Arius, and because he himself denied that the Son of God is everlasting, and the other things contained in the minutes. Let him therefore be held anathema." All the bishops said: "We all condemn him; let him be held anathema."

Summary: Ambrose proposes, as the emperor's appointed judges, the condemnation of Palladius, and all agree.

Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Quoniam omnes consistunt viri christiani, et Deo probati fratres, et consacerdotes nostri, dicat unusquisque quid sibi videatur. » Valerianus episcopus dixit: « Mihi quidem videtur, quia qui Arium defendit, Arianus est: qui blasphemias ejus non condemnat, ipse blasphemus est; ideoque hujusmodi hominem a consortio sacerdotum censeo esse alienum. » Palladius dixit: « Coepistis ludere, ludite. Sine concilio orientali vobis non respondemus. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "Since all are present, Christian men, brothers approved by God, and our fellow priests, let each say what he thinks." Bishop Valerian said: "It seems to me that whoever defends Arius is an Arian; whoever does not condemn his blasphemies is himself a blasphemer; and therefore I judge that such a man is a stranger to the fellowship of priests."

Anemius episcopus Sirmiensis dixit: « Quicumque hæreses Arianas non condemnat, Arianus sit necesse est. Hunc igitur alienum etiam a nostra communione, et sacerdotali coetu denuo privatum esse censemus. » Constantius episcopus Arausicus dixit: « Palladium Arii discipulum, cujus impietates jam olim damnatæ sunt a patribus nostris in concilio Nicaeno, et nunc hodie probatae, cum recenserentur, a Palladio singulae; quia non confusus est dum Dei filium a Deo Patre esse alienum, cum creaturam confitetur: cum temporalem coepisse dicit, Dominum verum negat, in sempiternum censeo esse damnandum. »

Anemius, bishop of Sirmium, said: "Whoever does not condemn the Arian heresies must be an Arian. We judge, therefore, that he is a stranger also to our communion and is again deprived of the assembly of priests." Constantius, bishop of Orange, said: "Palladius, the disciple of Arius, whose impieties were long ago condemned by our fathers at the Council of Nicaea, and have now today been approved by Palladius one by one as they were reviewed, since he was not ashamed to make the Son of God a stranger to God the Father, while he confesses him a creature, says that he began in time, and denies him true Lord: I judge that he must be condemned for ever."

Abundantius, bishop of Trent, said: "Since Palladius defends evident blasphemies, let him know that he is condemned by the Council of Aquileia." Eusebius, bishop of Bologna, said: "Since Palladius not only would not condemn the impieties of Arius, written with a devilish pen, which it was not right even to admit to our ears, but has even come forward as their defender, denying that the Son of God is true Lord, good Lord, wise Lord, everlasting Lord, I consider him rightly condemned and removed from the assembly of priests, both by my own sentence and by the judgment of all catholics."

Sed et eos qui contra veritatem Nicænæ synodi repugnantes sunt, condemnamus. »

Sabinus, bishop of Piacenza, said: "Since it has been made plain to all that Palladius, who is a promoter of the Arian faithlessness, also holds its impiety, which runs against the ordinances of the Gospel and the Apostles, the sentence of the whole council has justly been passed upon him; and let him, deprived again of the priesthood by the sentence of my lowliness too, be rightly expelled from this most holy assembly." Felix and Numidius, legates of the Africans, said: "Anathema to the sect of the Arian heresy, in which Palladius has been shown at the synod of Aquileia to stand.

Limenius, bishop of Vercelli, said: "It is manifest that the Arian doctrine has often been condemned; and therefore Palladius, summoned at this holy synod of Aquileia, since he would not correct or amend himself, but rather proved himself blameworthy and bound himself to the faithlessness which he publicly confessed that he holds: I too declare by my sentence that he is to be deprived of the fellowship of priests." Maximus, bishop of Emona, said: "That Palladius, who would not condemn the blasphemies of Arius but rather confessed them himself, is justly and deservedly condemned, both God knows and the conscience of the faithful has condemned him."

Utrum Dei Filium Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, verum vel non verum Deum dicas? » Secundianus dixit: « Qui negat Deum verum esse Patrem Domini et Dei nostri Jesu Christi, non est christianus: nec qui negat Dominum Filium Dei verum. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Deum verum Dei Filium confiteris? » Secundianus dixit: « Verum Dei Filium, unigenitum Dei Filium verum dico. »

And when Secundianus had stolen in, Bishop Ambrose said: "You have heard, Secundianus, what sentence the impious Palladius received when condemned by the council of priests. Although it displeased us that you did not shudder at his, that is, Palladius's, madness, nevertheless I ask some things of you in particular. Do you call the Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ, true God or not true God?" Secundianus said: "Whoever denies that the Father of our Lord and God Jesus Christ is true God is not a Christian; nor is whoever denies that the Lord is the true Son of God." Bishop Ambrose said: "Do you confess the Son of God to be true God?" Secundianus said: "I call him the true Son of God, the true only-begotten Son of God."

Simpliciter Filium Dei Deum verum confiteris? » Secundianus dixit: « Quis fuerit Arius, ignoro: quid dixerit nescio. Mecum loqueris vivus ad vivum. Illud dico quod Christus dixit: Unigenitum qui est in sinu Patris; ergo unigenitum Filium se asserit Patris: Filius igitur unigenitus est Dei Filius verus. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "Do you call him true Lord?" Secundianus said: "The true only-begotten Son. Who denies that the Son of God is true?" Bishop Eusebius said: "It is not enough that you confess the Son of God as only-begotten, for all confess that; but what troubles us is that Arius called the Father alone Lord, alone true, and denied that the Son of God is true Lord. Do you simply confess the Son of God to be true God?" Secundianus said: "Who Arius was, I do not know; what he said, I do not know. You are speaking with me, a living man with a living man. I say what Christ said: 'the only-begotten, who is in the bosom of the Father.' So he asserts that he is the only-begotten Son of the Father; therefore the only-begotten Son is the true Son of God."

Chapter 67

67PL 16:937a

Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Deus verus est, et verus Dei Filius Deus? » Et addidit: « In divinis libris scriptum est: Quia qui jurant super terram, jurabunt Deum verum. Quod utique de Christo esse non dubium est. Nos ergo verum Deum profitemur: et fides nostra hæc est, et professio, quia unigenitus Patris Filius est verus Deus. Dic et tu de Deo vero, deinde Filium Deum verum. » Secundianus dicit: « De Deo vero. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "Is he true God, and is the true Son of God God?" And he added: "In the divine books it is written: 'Those who swear upon the earth shall swear by the true God.' This is without doubt of Christ. We therefore profess him true God; and this is our faith and profession, that the only-begotten Son of the Father is true God. You too say: 'from true God'; then, 'the Son true God.'" Secundianus said: "From true God."

Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Filius Dei Deus verus est? » Secundianus dixit: « Ergo mendax. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « In hoc fraudem facis, ut non Deum verum dicas, sed Deum unigenitum verum, ac per hoc dic simpliciter: Unigenitus Dei Filius Deus verus est. » Secundianus dixit: « Unigenitum dixi Dei Filium. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "Is the Son of God true God?" Secundianus said: "Then a liar." Bishop Ambrose said: "In this you are deceiving: not to say 'true God' but 'the true only-begotten God'; so say simply: 'The only-begotten Son of God is true God.'" Secundianus said: "I have said the only-begotten Son of God."

Notes and citation

Summary: Ambrose presses Secundianus to say simply that the only-begotten Son is true God.

  • The staged text began with Migne's column number and the section number; removed. Secundianus's "Then a liar" (Ergo mendax) is unexplained in the acts; translated as printed.

Chapter 69

69PL 16:937b–937c

Eusebius episcopus dixit: « Hoc Photinus non negat, hoc Sabellius confitetur. » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Et qui hoc non confitetur, jure damnatur; ac per hoc sæpe te convenio, licet cavillando negaveris veritatem. Non quaero ut tantummodo unigenitum verum Filium dicas Dei, sed etiam Deum verum. » Secundianus dixit: « Veritatis me servum profiteor. Quae dico, non scribuntur: et quæ dicis, scribuntur. Christum verum Dei Filium dico. Quis negat Filium Dei verum esse? »

Bishop Eusebius said: "This Photinus does not deny; this Sabellius confesses." Bishop Ambrose said: "And whoever does not confess this is rightly condemned; and therefore I often call upon you, though by quibbling you have denied the truth. I do not ask only that you call him the true only-begotten Son of God, but also true God." Secundianus said: "I profess myself a servant of the truth. What I say is not written down, and what you say is written down. I call Christ the true Son of God. Who denies that the Son of God is true?"

Notes and citation

Summary: Eusebius notes that even Photinus and Sabellius call Christ only-begotten Son; Ambrose demands that Secundianus also call him true God.

Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Qui negat Deum verum unigenitum Dei Filium, anathema sit. » Secundianus dixit: « Deum verum unigenitum Filium Dei? Quid mihi profiteris, quod non est scriptum? » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Apertum sacrilegium est, quando Christum Dei Filium Arius Deum verum negavit. » Secundianus dixit: « Jesum Christum Filium Dei Deum, qui Christus dicatur Filius verus, Filium Dei dico: sed verum Deum non est scriptum. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "Whoever denies that the only-begotten Son of God is true God, let him be anathema." Secundianus said: "True God, the only-begotten Son of God? Why do you profess to me what is not written?" Bishop Ambrose said: "It is open sacrilege, since Arius denied that Christ the Son of God is true God." Secundianus said: "Jesus Christ the Son of God, God, who as Christ is called the true Son, I call the Son of God; but 'true God' is not written."

Notes and citation

Summary: Secundianus objects that "true God" is not written of the Son in Scripture.

Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Nondum resipuisti? » Et adjecit: « Ne quid illi videatur esse subreptum, confirmet sententiam suam. Dicat ergo unigenitum Christum Dei Filium Deum verum. » Secundianus dixit: « Jam dixi. Quid mihi extorquere vis amplius? » Ambrosius episcopus dixit: « Quid dixisti? Certe si dixisses tanta, quod gloriose dicitur, saepe repetendum est. » Secundianus dixit: « Dictum est: Sit sermo vester, est est, non non. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "Have you not yet come to your senses?" And he added: "Lest anything seem to have been wrung from him by stealth, let him confirm his opinion. Let him say, then, that Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, is true God." Secundianus said: "I have already said it. What more do you want to extort from me?" Bishop Ambrose said: "What have you said? Certainly, if you had said so much, what is said gloriously ought to be often repeated." Secundianus said: "It has been said: 'Let your word be yes, yes, no, no.'"

Bishop Ambrose said: "Whoever says that the Father himself is the Son is sacrilegious. This is what I ask of you: that you say that the Son of God was born true God from true God." Secundianus said: "I call the Son begotten of God, since he himself says, 'I have begotten you,' and confesses that he was begotten."

Bishop Ambrose said: "Is he true God from true God?" Secundianus said: "And when you add to the name 'true' as well, do you hear what kind of faith is in you, and are you a Christian?" Bishop Eusebius said: "Who denied that he is true God? Arius and Palladius denied it. If you believe him true God, you ought to state it simply."

Habemus vestram expositionem, afferemus, legatur. » Ambrosius dixit: « Hodie afferre debueras, caeterum tu subterfugere conaris. Professionem a me exigis; et professionem a te exigo. Deus verus est Dei Filius? » Secundianus dixit: « Unigenitus est Deus Dei Filius. Et ego eum interrogo: Unigenitus est? »

Bishop Ambrose said: "If you do not say that he was born true God from true God, you have denied Christ." Secundianus said: "Asked about the Son, I gave an answer: I answered as I ought to profess. We have your exposition; we will bring ours; let it be read." Ambrose said: "You ought to have brought it today; otherwise you are trying to evade. You demand a profession from me, and I demand a profession from you. Is the Son of God true God?" Secundianus said: "The only-begotten Son of God is God. And I ask him: is he only-begotten?"

Ac per hoc, ut istam adimas quaestionem, ita responde: Ex Deo vero Deus verus est? » Secundianus dixit: « Ergo Deus Deum non genuit? Deus verus ille qui est, quod est, genuit; unum verum, unigenitum Filium genuit? » Ambrosius dixit: « Non confiteris Deum verum, sed vis dicere verum unigenitum. Et ego unigenitum dico, sed et Deum verum. » Secundianus dixit: « Ego dico genitum a Patre, verum genitum dico omnibus. »

Bishop Ambrose said: "Let reason move us, and your impiety and folly. When you say 'true only-begotten God', you do not say 'true God' but 'true only-begotten'. And therefore, to remove this question, answer thus: is he true God from true God?" Secundianus said: "Did God, then, not beget God? The true God, who is what he is, begot; did he beget one true, only-begotten Son?" Ambrose said: "You do not confess true God, but you want to say 'true only-begotten'.
