FLAVIAN II . (d. 518), bishop or patriarch of Antioch, was chosen by the emperor Anastasius I. to succeed Palladius, most probably in 498. He endeavoured to please both parties by steering a middle course in reference to the Chalcedon (q.v.) decrees, but was induced after great hesitation to agree to the request of Anastasius that he should accept the Henoticon, or decree of union , issued by the emperor Zeno. His doing so, while it brought upon him the anathema of the patriarch of
Constantinople , failed to secure the favour of Anastasius, who in 511 found in the riots which were occurring between the rival parties in the streets of Antioch a pretext for deposing Flavian, and banishing him to Petra , where he died in 518. Flavian was soon after his death enrolled among the saints of the Greek Church See Also: - CHURCH
