Can. 13 is one of the very rare texts in the Latin West dealing with the Oriental christology. Can. 12 records that a Syrian bishop told the fathers of the council that there are no two natures in Christ and that the divinity is passible. The treatise (can. 13) refutes in a scholarly manner these statements. It shows already the pattern of later scholastic approach in his structure. Added is a florilegium of Patristic texts, dependent from Justinian I Confessio de rectae fidei. The treatise was taken over by Baldwin of Canterbury (+ 1190), in his recently (2008) rediscovered “Liber de sectis hereticorum et orthodoxe fidei dogmata”.
