Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology/Anatolius 3.
ANATO'LIUS (Ανατόλιος), Patriarch of Constantinople (a. d. 449), presided at a synod at Constantinople (a. d. 450) which condemned Eutyches and his followers, and was present at the general council of Chalcedon (a. d. 451), out of the twenty-eighth decree of which a contest sprung up between Anatolius and Leo, bishop of Rome, respecting the relative rank of their two sees. A letter from Anatolius to Leo, written upon this subject in a. d. 457, is still extant. (Cave, Hist. Lit. a. d. 449.) [P. S.]
