32. (17) Ὡς οὖν ὥδευσεν ἐν τῇ Ἐφέσῳ ὁ Νεστόριος καὶ συνεκροτήθη σύνοδος, τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ᾗ ἔμελλε καθαιρεῖσθαι, ὁρᾷ ὁ Ὑπάτιος ὅτι ἄγγελος Κυρίου κρατήσας τὸν ἅγιον Ἰωάννην τὸν ἀπόστολον ἀπήγαγεν πρὸς τὸν εὐσεβέστατον βασιλέα λέγων· (18) «Εἰπὲ τῷ βασιλεῖ· ‘Δὸς ἀπόφασιν Νεστορίῳ.’» Κἀκεῖνος ἀκούσας ἔδωκεν. (19) Καὶ ἐσημειώσατο τὴν ἡμέραν, καὶ ηὑρέθη ὅτι ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ καθῃρέθη, πληρωθέντων τῶν τριῶν ἥμισυ ἐτῶν, καθὼς ὁ Κύριος προεδήλωσεν αὐτῷ. (20) Καὶ μετ’ ὀλίγας ἡμέρας ἠνέχθη ἡ καθαίρεσις Νεστορίου· καὶ ἀνεγνώσθη ἐνώπιον παντὸς τοῦ κλήρου καὶ τοῦ λαοῦ, παρόντων ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ Εὐλαλίου καὶ Ὑπατίου.
‘Thus when Nestorius went to Ephesus and the council was convoked, on the day when he was going to be deposed, Hypatios saw an angel carrying Saint John the Apostle and taking him to the most pious emperor, saying: “Issue a condemnation for Nestorius.” And he obeyed and issued it. So he noted down the day and it was ascertained that he was deposed on the same day, after completing three and a half years, as God had revealed to him [Hypatios]. Some days later, the announcement of Nestorius’ deposition arrived, and was read out before all the clergy and laity, while Eulalios [bishop of Chalcedon] and Hypatios were present in the church.’
