ngs his dear friend was to meet
with, dying about three years before him, in 404. The general
council of Chalcedon calls him blessed, (Conc. t. 4, p. 840,) and
Theodoret (l. 5, c. 232) gives him the titles of the great, the
admirable saint. St. Chrysostom is lavish in his praises of him.
Flavian's sermons and other writings are all lost except his
discourse to Theodosius, preserved by St. Chrysostom. No church or
Martyrology, whether among the Greeks or Latins, ever placed Falvius
I. of Antioch in the catalogue of the saints. Whence Chatelain, in
his notes, speaking of St. Meletius, February the 12th, p. 630; and
on St. Flavian of Constantinople, February the 17th, p. 685,
expresses his surprise at the boldness of Baillet and some others,
who, without regard to the decrees of Urban VIII., presumed to do it
of their own private authority, and without any reason, have
assigned for his feast the 21st of February. Chatelain, in his
additions to his Universal Martyrology, p. 711, names him with the
epithet of venerable only, on the 26th of September. He is only
spoken of here, to answer our design of giving in the notes some
account of the most eminent fathers of the church who have never
been ranked among the saints. On St. Flavian II. of Antioch,
banished by the emperor Anastasius with St. Elias of Jerusalem, for
their zeal in defending the council of Chalcedon against the
Eutychians, see July {} 4th, on which these two confessors are
commemorated in the Roman Martyrology.
