<p> <b> [[Sergius]] (12), </b> the name of the two Monophysite priests persecuted with John of [[Ephesus]] at Constantinople. He relates the sufferings of the Sergii, one of whom was his syncellus, the other his disciple. While John was imprisoned in the penitentiary of the hospital of [[Eubulus]] the two priests were seized, and, as they would not yield, were publicly scourged and then imprisoned in a "diaconate," or hospital, attended by deacons and laymen, for 40 days. The syncellus was finally sent to the monastery of Beth-Rabula, where he was kindly treated, the monks there "having no love for the council of [[Chalcedon]] nor even proclaiming it in their worship" (John of Eph. <i> H. E. </i> p. 110, trans. Payne Smith). </p> <p> [C.H.] </p>
