ment. In that city he entered into intrigues for the piir- 
pofe of depriving- Martyriiis, the bifliop, of liis dignity j 
and having procured acciifations to be brought agalnft 
him as a hJefiorian, which obliged him to repair to Con- 
liantinople toaiifwer to the ciiarge, he ufurped his fee in 
his abfence. He was afterwards depofed from tlie epif- 
copate, and condemned for the oppolition which lie made 
to the decrees of the council of Chalcedon. In 4S2, how. 
ever, by the interpofition of Zeno, and the favour of Aca. 
tins bilhop of Conftantinople, he was re-inflated in the 
poire-ffion of his former dignity. No (ooncr was he firtnly 
fixed ill his feat, than he introduced an alteration into a 
parr of tlie devotional ferviceof the church, which prov¬ 
ed a fubjeft of bitter dif'cord. To tlie famous hymn, 
wliich the Greeks call Trifagium, he ordered the follow¬ 
ing phral'e to be added in the eaftern churclies, “ wlio has 
fulfered for us upon the crofs.” His defign was, to fix 
more deeply in the minds of the people the do6trine of one 
nature in Chrifl. By liis advcrfaries, however, it was re. 
prefented as intended to convey the notion that all the 
three perfons of the trinity were crucified : hence tliey 
gave tlie name of Theopafchites to thofe who approved ot 
that addition. The confequence was a violent conirover- 
fy between the Weflern and Eaflcrn Chriflians j t!ie 
former rejedting the addition inferted by Fullo, as imply¬ 
ing a blalpliemous herefy ; and the latter conflantly uling 
it after this period, becaufe they conlidered it as applying 
to Chrifl alone. To put an end to tliis controverfy, the 
emperor Zeno publiflied, in 482, his Henotkon, or De¬ 
cree of Union, which was'intended to reconcile tlie con¬ 
tending parties. But initead of producing that efi'ecl it 
gave rife to new coiiteftsand divilions, w hich terminated 
in a formal fchifm between the Latin and the Oriental 
Chriflians. Fullo retained the fee of Antioch until.his 
death, whicli took place in 486.
