            Joh. Eph., EH 4.41, recounts how Damian of Alexandria attempted to ordain a new miaphysite patriarch in Antioch in early 580. In this project, which ultimately failed, the anonymous paramonarius (sacristan) of the church of Cassian in Antioch agreed to accept bribes and to provide access to the church for Damian and his party during the night. However, men working for the Chalcedonian patriarch Gregory succeeded in catching the paramonarius and he was subject to torture.
