It is not expressly stated whether any formal decision on the case of Cyril was adopted by the Council:  but as his name does not appear in the lists of those who were deposed or excommunicated, it is certain that he was not condemned.  It is most probable that the charges against him were disregarded after his accuser Acacius had refused to appear, and that he returned, like the others, to his diocese.  But he was not to be left long in peace.  Acacius and some of his party had hastened to Constantinople, where they gained over to their cause the chief men attached to the palace, and through their influence secured the favour of Constantius, and roused his anger against the majority of the Council.  But what especially stirred the Emperor’s wrath were the charges which Acacius concocted against Cyril:  “For,” he said that “the holy robe which the Emperor Constantine of blessed memory, in his desire to honour the Church of Jerusalem, had presented to Macarius, the Bishop of that city, to be worn when he administered the rite of Holy Baptism, all fashioned as it was with golden threads, had been sold by Cyril, and bought by one of the dancers at the theatre, who had put it on, and while dancing had fallen, and injured himself, and died.  With such an ally as this Cyril,” he said, “they undertake to judge and pass sentence upon the rest of the world Theodoret, H. E. ii. 23..”
