Miaphysite patr. of Alexandria 457-60, 475-7.
一性论派 (Miaphysite) 亚历山大 (Alexandria) 宗主教 (patr.)，457-60 年，475-7 年。
Miaphysite patr. of Alexandria 457–60, 475–7. His nickname ‘Ailouros’, or ‘weasel’, was due to his lean build. He attended the second Council of Ephesus in 449, together with Patr. Dioscorus. After the lynching of the pro-Chalcedonian Patr. Proterius in 457 he was made patr. but was expelled by the emperor in 460, eventually to be restored under Basiliscus. His writings (* CPG * 5475–5489), originally in Greek, survive for the most part only in Syriac and Armenian. His major work, ‘On the Unity of Christ’, against the Council of Chalcedon (* CPG * 5475) is complete in Armenian (ed. K. Ter Mekerttschian and E. Ter-Minassiantz, 1908; text only) but only in an abridged form in Syriac (not yet fully published). Several of his letters and a refutation of another work against the Chalcedonian Definition of Faith and the Tome of Leo survive only in Syriac.
一性论派 (Miaphysite) 亚历山大 (Alexandria) 宗主教 (patr.)，457–60 年、475–7 年在任。他的绰号“艾卢罗斯 (Ailouros)“，或称“黄鼠狼 (weasel)“，源于其身材瘦削。他于 449 年参加了第二次以弗所公会议 (second Council of Ephesus)，与宗主教 (patr.) 狄奥斯库若 (Dioscorus) 一同出席。457 年，支持卡尔西顿的 (pro-Chalcedonian) 宗主教 (patr.) 普罗特留斯 (Proterius) 被私刑处死后，他被立为宗主教 (patr.)，但在 460 年被皇帝驱逐，最终在巴西利斯库斯 (Basiliscus) 治下得以复职。他的著作 (* CPG * 5475–5489) 原为希腊语，大部分仅存叙利亚语和亚美尼亚语译本。他的主要著作《论基督的合一》(On the Unity of Christ)，旨在反对卡尔西顿公会议 (Council of Chalcedon) (* CPG * 5475)，完整版本存于亚美尼亚语中 (ed. K. Ter Mekerttschian and E. Ter-Minassiantz, 1908; text only)，而叙利亚语版本仅为缩略本（尚未完全出版）。他的几封书信以及另一部驳斥《卡尔西顿信经定义》(Chalcedonian Definition of Faith) 和《利奥大卷》(Tome of Leo) 的著作仅存叙利亚语。
