The Holy Council, by the grace of God, convened in Sardica from Rome, Spain, Gaul, Italy, Campania, Calabria, Apulia, Africa, Sardinia, Pannonia, Mysia, Dacia, Noricum, Siskia, Dardania, other Dacia, Macedonia, Thessaly, Achaia, Epirus, Thrace, Rhodope, Palestine, Arabia, Crete and Egypt, to the presbyters and the deacons and the entire holy Church of God in Alexandria, beloved brothers, wishes to rejoice in the Lord. 37) And before we received letters from your reverence, it was not unknown, but on the contrary, it was obvious to us that the patrons of the evil Arian heresy did many and terrible things, however, more to the destruction of their souls than to the detriment of the Church. This was their art and cunning, they always held such a murderous intention, so that with all their might they could persecute and persecute all Orthodox Christians, anywhere, who contain the teaching of the Universal Church, which was handed down to them from the Fathers. Some were brought up with fictitious charges, others were sent to prison, others were tortured. Of course, with their violence and torment they tried to darken the purity of our brother and co-bishop Athanasius, and therefore their trial was without strict research, without evidence, in a word - unfair. Therefore, not hoping that they had invented and divulged about him, and themselves seeing that they could not provide true evidence for this, having arrived in the city of Sardica, they did not want to appear at the Council of All Holy Bishops. And this revealed how fair the judgment of our brother and co-bishop Julius was, for he did not judge without prudence, but decided the matter with the most severity, which is why he did not at all doubt to accept into communion our brother Athanasius, to whom eighty bishops were faithful witnesses and who was justified by the fact that with the help of our beloved brethren - his presbyters, and also with the help of letters, he discovered the machinations of Eusebius’ adherents, who supported themselves not by court, but more by violence. Why did all the bishops everywhere confirm that they should accept Athanasius into communion for his purity? May your love also pay attention to the following: when Athanasius appeared at the holy Council convened in Sardica, then, according to what was said above, we reminded the Easterners with both messages and oral orders and invited them to also appear. But they, convicted by their conscience, began to evade trial under indecent pretexts, demanding that the innocent, like the guilty, be removed from our communication, not heeding the fact that this is indecent, or better yet, impossible. And regarding the court records compiled in Mareota by some worthless and desperate young people, whom no one believed even of the lowest rank in the clergy, it was proven that a one-sided investigation of the case was carried out, because neither our brother, Bishop Athanasius, nor the presbyter Macarius, accused by them, was there. And the interrogation, or better yet, a false slander, was done by them in the most shameful way, because they interrogated either pagans or catechumens, not so that they would say what they knew, but so that they would give false testimony, which they themselves taught them. And you, the presbyters, who were concerned about the absence of your bishop and wanted to be present during the investigation, to prove the truth and expose the lies, were not given any respect, you were not allowed to be present, they even expelled you with reproach. And from this the slander is already very obvious to everyone. But, having read the court records, we also found that the all-evil Iskhir, who received a reward from them for slander - the imaginary name of a bishop, himself exposed himself in this slander, because in the same records he said about himself that at the time when, according to them, Macarius entered his cell, he was lying sick, while Eusebius’s accomplices dared to write that when he appeared Macarius, Iskhir stood and made the Offering. 38) The slander and falsity of the denunciation also became obvious to everyone in the complaint that was brought after this. For they said and cried incessantly that Athanasius committed murder and put to death a certain Arsenius, a bishop appointed by Meletius; pretending to complain to Arseny about this, they hypocritically shed tears and demanded that the body of this living bishop be handed over as if he were truly dead. But their inventions did not go unrecognized; everyone knew that Arseny was both alive and considered among the living. These same people, ready for anything, when they saw that they were being exposed in a lie, because the living Arseny himself was proving about himself that he was not killed and that he did not die, did not calm down even after that, but began to look for other denunciations in addition to the previous false denunciations in order to slander Athanasius with the help of new intrigues. What then, beloved? Our brother Athanasius was not embarrassed, but even in this, with great boldness, he began to call them to trial, and we wished and invited them to come to the court and expose Athanasius, if they could. Oh, what a spirit of dominance! What terrible pride! Or better yet, to tell the truth, what an evil and guilty conscience? This is obvious to everyone. Therefore, beloved brothers, we remind you and urge you, first of all, to maintain the right faith of the Universal Church. For you have endured many terrible and calamitous things; many insults and injustices have been suffered by the Universal Church, but “he who endures... to the end will be saved” (Matthew 10:22). Why, if they still dare to act against you, your sorrow will be joyful, because such suffering is part of martyrdom, such confessions and tortures of yours will not go unrewarded, but you will receive victorious rewards from God. Therefore, strive especially hard to defend the sound faith and purity of your bishop and our co-celebrant Athanasius, because we did not remain silent or neglectful about your peace, but took care and did everything that the law of love requires: we accept participation in the sufferings of our suffering brethren and recognize their suffering as our own. 39) Therefore, we reported this to the most pious and most God-loving kings, and turned to them with a request that their love for mankind would command them to give relief to those hitherto suffering and oppressed and would legitimize that none of those judges, who have the duty to take care of only civil affairs, not to judge clergy, but in general, under the pretext of caring for the Churches, would not undertake anything in the future against brethren, so that each of the brethren, without being subjected to persecution or any violence or pretension, lives as he wishes and wants, and in silence and peace maintains the Ecumenical and Apostolic Faith. About Gregory, who, as they say, was illegally installed by heretics and sent by them to your city, let it be known to your unanimity that, by the judgment of the entire sacred Council, he was deposed, and was never recognized as a bishop at all. Therefore, joyfully accept your Bishop Athanasius, who has been returned to you. For this is why we let him go in peace, therefore we advise everyone who, either out of fear or through someone else’s machinations, was in communication with Gregory, after this reminder of ours, having heeded and submitted to this, stop vile communication with him and finally join the Universal Church. 40) Since we learned that a conspiracy was drawn up against our co-presbyters Afonius, Athanasius, son of Kapitonov, Paul and Plution by Eusebius’s accomplices, and therefore some were sent into captivity, others themselves fled when they were threatened with death, then we considered it necessary to announce this to us too, so that it will be known to you that we also accepted them and recognized them as innocent, knowing very well that everything that had been done Eusebius’s accomplices against the Orthodox were done to the glory and praise of those who were subjected to their machinations. Although it would have been fitting for your bishop and our co-celebrant Athanasius to inform you about them as his own, privately, but since for greater witness he wanted the Holy Council to write to you, we did not delay, but on the contrary, we tried to notify you so that you, like us, would accept them as worthy of praise, because they too, for their pious faith in Christ, were deemed worthy to endure reproach from heretics. What ruling was drawn up by the Holy Council against the patrons of the Arian heresy, who sinned against you and against other Churches, you will learn about this from the attached papers that we sent to you, so that you would know from this that the Universal Church does not leave those who sin against it unnoticed. The Holy Council, convened by the grace of God in Sardica, wishes the bishops and concelebrants in Egypt and Libya, beloved brethren, to rejoice in the Lord. 41) And before we received letters from your reverence, it was not unknown, but on the contrary, it was obvious to us that the patrons of the evil Arian heresy arranged many and terrible things, however, more to the destruction of their souls than to the detriment of the Church. This was their art and cunning, they always held such a murderous intention, so that with all their might they could persecute and persecute all Orthodox Christians, anywhere, who contain the teaching of the Universal Church, which was handed down to them from the Fathers.

And this revealed how fair the judgment of our brother and co-bishop Julius was, for he did not judge without prudence, but decided the case with the most severity, which is why we will not at all hesitate to accept into communion our brother Athanasius, to whom eighty bishops were faithful witnesses and who was justified by the fact that with the help of our beloved brethren - his presbyters, and also with the help of letters, he discovered the machinations of Eusebius’ adherents, who supported themselves not by court, but more by violence.

Therefore, beloved brethren, we remind you and urge you, first of all, to maintain the right faith of the Universal Church. For you have endured many terrible and calamitous things, the Universal Church has suffered many insults and untruths; but - “he who endures... to the end, he will be saved” (Matthew 10:22).

It was not you alone who suffered, brethren, but also many of our other fellow servants who came here and lamented about it. 43) Why did we report this to the most pious and God-loving kings and turn to them with a request that their love for mankind would command them to give relief to those hitherto suffering and oppressed and would legitimize that none of those judges, who have the duty to take care of only civil affairs, not to judge clergy, but in general, under the pretext of caring for the Churches, would not undertake anything in the future against the brethren, so that everyone of the brethren, without being subjected to persecution or any violence or pretension, he lived as he wished and wanted, and in silence and peace he maintained the Ecumenical and Apostolic Faith. About Gregory, who, as they say, was illegally installed by heretics and sent by them to your city, let it be known to your unanimity that, by the judgment of the entire sacred Council, he was deposed, and was never recognized as a bishop at all. Therefore, joyfully accept your bishop Athanasius, who has been returned to you. For this is why we sent him away in peace; Therefore, we advise everyone who, either out of fear or through someone else’s machinations, was in communication with Gregory, after this reminder of ours, having heeded and submitted to this, stop vile communication with him and finally join the Universal Church. What definition was drawn up by the Holy Council against Theodore, Narcissus, Stephen, Acacius, Minofant, Ursatius, Valens and George, the patrons of the Arian heresy, who sinned against you and against other Churches, you will learn about this from the attached papers that we sent to you, so that your piety would express consent to what we have defined, and you would know from this that the Universal Church does not leave without comment those who sin against her. The Holy Council, convened by the grace of God in Sardica, wishes to the bishops and co-celebrants of the Universal Church everywhere, beloved brethren, to rejoice in the Lord. 44) The Arians repeatedly dared to do many things against the servants of God who preserved the right faith, and, instilling their false teaching, attempted to expel the Orthodox, and finally, they rebelled so much against the faith that this did not hide from the piety of the most reverent kings. Why, with the assistance of God's grace, the most pious kings themselves convened us from various dioceses and cities and allowed this holy Council to take place in the city of Sardica, so that all differences of opinion would be suppressed and with the removal of all evil faith, one pious faith in Christ would be observed by all. The Eastern bishops also arrived, summoned by the most pious kings, especially because they repeatedly spoke about our beloved brothers and co-workers - Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, and Marcellus, Bishop of Ancyrogalatia. And their slander may have reached you, and they may have tried to disturb your hearing, so that you would believe everything that they say against the innocent, and they could hide from suspicion of their harmful heresy. But they didn’t manage to act like this for long. For the Patron of the Churches is the Lord, for their sake and for the sake of all of us, He endured death and showed us all His ascension to heaven. Therefore, even before, when Eusebius’s accomplices wrote to our co-servant Julius, Bishop of the Church of Rome, against our co-celebrants mentioned above - we mean Athanasius, Marcellus and Asclepius - the bishops of other countries also wrote, testifying to the purity of our co-servant Athanasius and that what came out from Eusebius’ accomplices was nothing more than a lie and full of slander. And although the slander was already clear, especially from the fact that they did not come to the invitation of our beloved colleague Julius, and also from what was therefore written by Julius himself, for they would have come if they had relied on what they had done and carried out against our colleagues; however, they revealed their conspiracy even more clearly by what they did during this holy and great Council. For, having arrived in the city of Sardica and seeing there our brethren Athanasius, Marcellus, Asklipius and others, they were afraid to appear at the trial, and not once, not twice, but repeatedly invited, did not listen to the invitations, although all of us, the assembled bishops, and especially the venerable elder Hosea, worthy of all respect both in years, and in confession, and in so many labors he had endured, waited and persuaded them to come to the court, so that they could personally convict our fellow servants of having divulged and written about them when they were absent. But they did not come at the invitation, as we said above, thereby proving their slander, and with their denial out loud they almost cried out about the malice and conspiracy they had committed. He who is firmly confident in what he says can confirm it in person. Since they did not appear at the trial, now, although they would like to deceive again, everyone already knows, as we believe, that, not having anything to convict our fellow servants, they slander them when they are not there, and run away from them when they are in front of them in person. 45) They fled, beloved brethren, not only because of their slander against Athanasius and others, but also because they saw the need to meet the men who were bringing various complaints against them. Bonds and irons were shown here, there were those who returned from captivity, there were those who came from those held in captivity, co-servants, relatives and friends of those brought to death appeared, and most importantly, bishops appeared, one of whom showed the iron and shackles that he wore from them; others testified that their slander threatened them with death. For they reached such insolence that they attempted the lives of bishops, and would have killed them if they had not escaped their hands. This is how our blessed colleague Theodulus died, fleeing from their slander, because because of their slander he was sentenced to death. Others showed the sword blows they had received; others complained that they suffered hunger from them. All this was testified not by ordinary people, but by entire Churches, from which the messengers came talking about armed soldiers, about crowds of people with daggers in their hands, about threats from judges, about the disclosure of forged letters. For a letter was read, invented by Theognius against our co-servants Athanasius, Marcellus and Asklipius, with the intention of inciting the kings against them, and this was brought out by the then deacons of Theognius. Moreover, they described the nakedness of virgins, the burning of churches, the imprisonment of clergy, and all this for nothing other than the evil Arian heresy, because those who renounced communication with them were forced to experience this on themselves. So, seeing this, they were at a loss, not knowing what to decide, they were ashamed to admit what they had done, since there was no longer an opportunity to hide it any longer, they came to the city of Sardica, so that by their arrival, apparently, they would convey the idea that they were not guilty of any wrongdoing. But seeing those slandered by them and those who suffered from them, having accusers and accusers before their eyes, they did not want to come at the invitation. Meanwhile, our co-servants Athanasius, Marcellus and Asclepius acted boldly, brought complaints urgently, demanded, summoned them, promised not only to expose the slander, but also to prove how many offenses they had committed against their Churches - they were so overcome by fear in their consciences that they indulged in flight, and by their flight they exposed their slander, and through their removal they admitted their offenses. 46) Thus, although most of all, not only from the previous, but also from this, their malice and slander are revealed, however, so that in their very flight they could not find any pretext for their malice, we decided for the good, according to the law of truth, to investigate their intrigues. And having assumed such a goal, from all their deeds we find that they are slanderers, and did nothing more than plot intrigues against our fellow servants. That Arseny, about whom they spoke, was supposedly deprived of life by Athanasius, and is alive, and is considered among the living. And from this it is clear that what they divulge about others is fiction. They also talked about the cup, allegedly broken by the Athanasian presbyter Macarius, but those who came from Alexandria, Mareota and other places testified that nothing of this happened, and the bishops who wrote from Egypt to our co-servant Julius sufficiently confirmed that there was no suspicion of anything like that there. On the other hand, about those court records in which, as they say, there is something against Athanasius, it was found out that they were compiled in a one-sided way, moreover, according to these very records, pagans and catechumens were interrogated, one of the catechumens during interrogation testified that when Macarius arrived at the place, he was inside, and the other, being asked, said that Iskhir, often mentioned by them, was then lying sick in his cell, and from this it is clear that the sacrament was not performed at all, because the catechumens were there, and there was no Ischir, who lay sick. And the crafty Iskhir himself, having lied in what he claimed, that Athanasius burned one of the divine books, and being convicted of this, confessed about himself that at the time Macarius arrived, he was sick and laying down. Why and from this it is clear that he is a slanderer. And, of course, as a reward for this slander, this Ischir, who was not a presbyter, was given the title of bishop. For two presbyters, who were once with Meletius, and later received by Alexander, the former bishop of Alexandria of blessed memory, who are now under Athanasius, having arrived here, testified that Ischyrus had never been a presbyter with Meletius, and Meletius did not have a church or clergyman at all in Mareota. And yet, the one who was not a presbyter was now passed off as a bishop, thinking in his slander to amaze the listeners with this name. 47) The work of Marcellus’s colleague was also read, and the malice of the Eusebians was revealed. What Marcellus said in the form of a question was passed off as his own confession. Therefore, both the questions that followed and those that preceded them were read, and Marcellus’s right faith was revealed. For Marcellus did not attribute to God the Word, as they claimed, a beginning from Saint Mary, nor did he say that His Kingdom has an end, but on the contrary, he wrote that His Kingdom is beginningless and endless. And his co-celebrant Asclepius brought the court records compiled in Antioch in the presence of the accusers and Eusebius of Caesarea, and by the rulings of the bishops who tried him he proved himself to be innocent. So, beloved brethren, it was not without reason that they disobeyed after repeated invitations, it was not without reason that they fled: persecuted by their conscience, their flight confirmed their slander and forced them to believe what their accusers who came here said and showed against them. For, in addition to all this, they not only accepted those deposed and cast out before for the Aryan heresy, but even elevated them to the highest degree, deacons to presbyterate, presbyters to bishops, not for any other purpose, but with the sole purpose of making it possible to dispel and spread wickedness and harm the pious faith. 48) Now their leaders, after Eusebius, are Theodore from Heraclius, Narcissus from Neronias of Cilicia, Stephen from Antioch, George from Laodicea, Acacius from Caesarea in Palestine, Minophantus from Ephesus in Asia, Ursatius from Singidon of Mysia, Valens from the Murzes of Pannonia. They did not allow those who came with them from the East to appear at the holy Council, or even go to the Church of God, and having arrived in Sardica, they held their meetings in places, and laid down conditions with threats among themselves - upon their arrival in Sardica, not to appear at all for the trial and not to gather together with the holy Council, but only to come and, having announced their long arrival, immediately flee. We could learn this from our fellow servants - Macarius from Palestine and Asterius from Arabia, who came with them and retreated from their unbelief. They, having appeared at the Holy Council, complained about the coercion they endured, and said that nothing was being done truthfully among them; they also added that many there would have declared themselves on the side of Orthodoxy, but they were prevented from coming here by threats and boasts against those intending to retreat from these Eusebius accomplices. That’s why they tried to keep everyone in the same house, not allowing anyone to retire to a special place for the shortest time. 49) Therefore, just as it was not right to remain silent and leave without description the slander, bonds, murders, beatings, making forged letters, torment, the nudity of virgins, imprisonment, destruction of churches, fires, displacement from small towns to large settlements, and on top of all this, the Arian heresy that rebelled for their sake against the right faith, then for this reason about our beloved brothers and fellow servants Athanasius, Marcellus, Asclepius and those who serve the Lord with them, we declare that they are innocent and pure, writing about this to each flock, so that in each Church the people would know the purity of their bishop, and recognize him as their bishop, and expect him to come to them, but those who invaded the Church like wolves, namely Gregory in Alexandria, Basil in Ancyra, Quintian in Gaza, were not called bishops, had no communication with them at all, did not accept any messages from them and did not write to them. Theodore, Narcissus, Acacius, Stephen, Ursatius, Valens, Minofant and George, although he, being afraid, did not come here from the East, however, because he was deposed by Alexander of blessed memory, also him and others for holding on to Arian madness, and for the complaints brought against them, the Holy Council unanimously deposed from the bishopric; and we determined that not only should they not be bishops, but they would also not be honored with communion with the faithful. For those who excommunicate the Son and alienate the Word from the Father, justice demands that they be excommunicated from the Universal Church and alien to the name of Christians. So, let them be “anathema” to you because they have tampered with the word of truth. This is the apostolic commandment: “If anyone preaches the gospel to you any more than he eats, let him be accursed” (Gal. 1:9). Order that no one has any communication with them, because there is no communication between light and darkness; remove them all from you, because Christ has no agreement with Belial; Beware, beloved, both of writing to them and receiving letters from them, but most of all, try, beloved brethren and concelebrants, as if being co-present in spirit at our Council, to confirm our verdict with your signature in order to maintain unanimity among all concelebrants everywhere. May God's Providence keep you, beloved brethren, abiding in holiness and complacent! I signed, Bishop Hosea, and so did everyone else.
