The Constantinopolitan Acoemeti took a prominent part in the Christological controversies of the 5th and 6th centuries, at first strenuously opposing Acacius, patriarch of Constantinople , in his attempted compromise with the monophysites; but after-wards, in Justinian's reign, falling under ecclesiastical censure for Nestorian tendencies.See the article in Dictionary of Christian Antiquities; Wetzer and Welte, Kirchenlexicon (2nd ed.) ; and Herzog
