Basileios, deacon and preacher (Basileios 17004)
  • Abused covertly in sermons major writers (Michael 17004, Nikephoros 17003) with whom he disagreed; opponents (eg. Soterichos 17001) attacked one of his sermons at the church of Hagios Ioannes Theologos, as implying two hypostaseis of Christ (:) διττὰς ... λέγοντες εἰσάγειν ὑποστάσεις ... Kinnamos 176.13-177.16
Michael of Thessalonike (Michael Rhetor) (Michael 17004)
  • Was annoyed at being abused by the contemptible Basileios 17004, and was one of those who maliciously attacked the words of a sermon of his, as implying two hypostaseis of Christ — a disastrous action for himself and others: in association with Nikephoros 17003, Soterichos 17001 (:) Kinnamos 176.19-177.12
Nikephoros Basilakios, writer involved in doctrinal disputes (Nikephoros 17003)
  • Was annoyed at being abused by the contemptible Basileios 17004, and was one of those who maliciously attacked the words of a sermon of his, as implying two hypostaseis of Christ — a disastrous action for himself and others: in association with Michael 17004, Soterichos 17001 (:) Kinnamos 176.19-177.12
Soterichos Panteugenos, patriarch-elect of Antioch (Soterichos 17001)
  • Attacked Basileios 17004 and the idea of the two hypostaseis with a work like a Platonic dialogue; but thus he lost his patriarchal throne and his associates also suffered when Manuel 1 made a statement on the issue (:) Kinnamos 177.17-22
