Sometime during his episcopacy
Severus of Antioch received a petition from
Stephen, a deacon in Antaradus
requesting the intervention of Severus in the case of
Leontius who had been removed from the sacred tables for taking a second wife
after his ordination as a deacon but allowed to keep ministering. Stephen opposed his
lifestyle and his attempts to become head deacon.
