Anthimus - ܐܢܬܝܡܣ

http://syriaca.org/person/1592
“Anthimus was bishop of Trebizond in north-eastern Asia Minor when Justinian chose him as new patriarch of Constantinople. Probably on imperial orders, Anthimus approached the leading miaphysites of his day, Severus of Antioch and Theodosius of Alexandria. Because of this, opponents started claiming that he had condemned Chalcedon and entered into communion with Severus. Resistance to him grew in Constantinople and his position became untenable when the staunchly Chalcedonian Roman bishop Agapetus visited the capital in March 536. He stepped down as bishop and, together with many other miaphysites, enjoyed the protection of the empress Theodora until her death in 548.” 6
