THE problem with which this paper deals is that of the origin of the
longer creed recited in the fifth session of the Council of Chalcedon,
and commonly known as C. It is generally agreed that the attribution of this creed to the Council of Constantinople is mistaken, or at least that the 150 fathers were not responsible for its composition in the sense in which the 318 were responsible for the Nicene Creed, N: Accordingly the first question presented is how to account for this error. But further, the Greek MSS of the Acts of Chalcedon give in the fifth session a creed enlarged from N and concluding with the Nicene anathemas, styling it the Creed of the 318. Is the reading of the Greek MSS to be preferred to that of the Latin MSS which here give N, and if so what account are we to give of this intermediate creed which, for convenience of reference, I shall call E?1
The solution proposed is that E is an enlargement of N made by the Council of Constantinople in 381, and C is the baptismal creed of Constantinople founded on E and most probably composed in the following year.
The obvious impediment in the way of this hypothesis is the occurrence of C in a slightly differing form in the Ancoratus of Epiphanius; but, as I shall endeavour to shew, there is very strong reason to think that the present text of the Ancoratus is corrupt and originally had N,where we now read C.
