In connection with the synod of January 26, 1156, in which he played a major part, he issued a text of advice, in the form of a declaration of faith: it supports the majority view that Christ both offered and received the sacrifice of the Cross (:)
Γνώμη ἐπὶ τῷ κινηθέντι δόγματι· εἰ ὁ Υἱὸς τῷ Πατρὶ τὴν ἑαυτοῦ θυσίαν ὡς ἄνθρωπος προσάγων καὶ αὐτὸς αὐτὴν ὡς θεὸς προσεδέχετο μετὰ τοῦ Πατρός Tzetzes, Letters 180.1-185.25
