Philoxenus of Mabbug
Mor Philoxenos of Mabbug , also Xenajas of Mabbug and Aksenāyâ Mabûḡāyâ (* around 450 in Tahal; † December 10 (?) 523 in Philippopolis in Thrace ) was a Syrian theologian who opposed the two-natures teaching of the Council of Chalcedon profiled.
Life
He studied in Edessa and in the Mor Gabriel monastery in Tur Abdin , where he also stayed as a monk for a while. He later became bishop of Mabbug and took part in intrigues in Antioch (484 and 512) that led to the deposition of the Chalcedonian patriarch and the installation of Severus of Antioch . In 519 he was exiled by Justin I to Paphlagonia and then to Philippopolis in Thrace, where he died.
Philoxenus initiated a revision of the Syrian New Testament . In the Syriac Orthodox Church of Antioch he is highly valued and venerated as a saint.
Three anaphors, that is, forms of the Eucharistic liturgy, have come down to us under the name of Philoxenus.
