John Talaia
Because of this, the Emperor expelled him and recognized the Miaphysite claimant Peter Mongus as the legitimate patriarch on the condition that he would sign the Henoticon.John fled to Rome, where he was welcomed by Pope Simplicius.This pope, or his successor Felix III, refused to recognize Mongus and defended Talaia's rights in two letters to Acacius of Constantinople.As Acacius maintained the Henoticon and communion with Mongus, the pope excommunicated the patriarchs in 484.John eventually relinquished his claim to the see of Alexandria and became Bishop of Nola.
