Themistius,
the father and the begetter and most lawless sower of ignorance, who babbled
that Christ, our true God, did not know the day of judgement, statements which
he himself, driven mad by God, made in ignorance, not knowing that he uttered
in his mistaken thinking. For if he did not know the force of his own words, he
would not have given birth to the destructive ignorance and hotly defended the
pollution of ignorance, belching forth from his senseless brain the statement
that, not in so far as he was God eternal but in so far as he had in truth
become a human being, as Christ ignorant of the day of consummation and
judgement, and making him a mere human being. (Sophronius, Synodical Letters,
2.6.1, in Sophronius of Jerusalem and Seventh-Century Heresy: The Synodical
Letters and Other Documents [trans. Pauline Allen; Oxford Early Christian
Texts; Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2009], 143)
