event: Severus wrote a letter to Nicias discussing the impiety of ordination by Nestorian bishops. See factoid page

event: Severus commanded Nicias to remain faithful to the sacred canons by stripping the deacons and priests on Minidus who had been ordained by Nestorians of their honor, titles, and ability to administer the sacraments. See factoid page

event: Between 513 and 518, Severus wrote a letter to Stephen, bishop of Tripoli about a presbyter Stephen who came to Tripoli without a dismissory letter from his original diocese. See factoid page

event: Appealing to Cyril's letter to Nestorius and the example of Severus the presbyter, Severus urged Stephen to accept the ordination of Stephen because heretics cannot be expected to follow canon-law. See factoid page

event: Severus and the bishops of the East had drawn up a synodal letter to John the archbishop of Alexandria , affirming orthodoxy and condemning the council of Chalcedon, the teachings of Nestorius, and the Tome of Leo. See factoid page

event: Severus had written to Dionysius of Tarsus concerning the veneration of Nestorius in that area. See factoid page

event: John of Claudiopolis , when he received Severus in the house of Patrick, urged Severus to receive the synod of Chalcedon, not as a positive definition of faith, but as a rejection of Nestorius and Eutyches. See factoid page

event: Severus responded to John by refusing to accept the synod of Chalcedon as a repudiation of Nestorius and Eutyches, because the Chalcedonian creed and the Tome of Leo support Nestorianism; Severus does not believe that anathematizing Eutyches makes the Council of Chalcedon legitimate, because the followers of Arius were still heretics even though they repudiated the teachings of Sabellius. See factoid page

event: Some from Minidus and Uaris obtained ordination at the hands of Nestorian bishops. See factoid page
