Translation

Also [called] Bardanes.1 He killed the Emperor Justinian2 and appeared to reign indecently and indifferently; he also anathematized the fathers in the Ecumenical Council, because he did not accept the two wills and two energies of the Saviour, as divinely decreed by them. He found accomplices in John, who was archbishop of the city at the time, and Germanos, bishop of Kyzikos, and a great many other priests and senators.

Greek original · Adler’s text

Φιλιππικός, ὁ καὶ Βαρδάνης, Ἰουστινιανὸν βασιλέα ἀνελών, ἀσέμνως καὶ ῥᾳθύμως τὰ βασίλεια διέπων ἐφαίνετο τούς τε ἐν τῇ οἰκουμενικῇ συνόδῳ πατέρας ἀναθέματι καθυπέβαλε, τὰ παρ' αὐτῶν ἐνθέως δογματισθέντα δύο τοῦ Σωτῆρος θελήματα καὶ ἐνεργείας μὴ ἀποδεχόμενος· συλλήπτορας εὑρηκὼς Ἰωάννην τὸν τηνικαῦτα τῆς πόλεως ἀρχιερέα καὶ Γερμανὸν τὸν Κυζίκου μητροπολίτην καὶ ἑτέρους ἱερεῖς καὶ συγκλητικοὺς πλείστους.
