A:
anastasius i the sinaite was the greek patriarch of antioch twice -lrb- 561 -- 571 and 593 -- 599 -rrb- .he was a friend of pope gregory i , and aroused the enmity of the emperor justinian by opposing certain imperial doctrines about the body of christ -lrb- justinian favoured the aphthartodocetae -rrb- .he was to be deposed from his see and exiled when justinian died ; but justin ii carried out his uncle 's purpose five years later in 570 , and another bishop , gregory of antioch , was put in his place .but when gregory died in 593 , anastasius was restored to his see .this was chiefly due to pope gregory the great , who interceded with the emperor maurice and his son theodosius , asking that anastasius be sent to rome , if not reinstated at antioch .he was killed by a jewish mob in 599 .his feast day is 21 april .from some letters sent to him by gregory , it is thought that he was not sufficiently vigorous in denouncing the claims of the patriarch of constantinople to be a universal bishop .anastasius died in 598 , and another bishop of the same name is said to have succeeded him in 599 , to whom the translation gregory 's '' regula pastoralis '' is attributed , and who is recorded as having been put to death in an insurrection of the jews .nicephorus -lrb- hist .eccl. , xviii , xliv -rrb- declares that these two are one and the same person .the same difficulty occurs with regard to certain '' sermones de orthodoxa fide '' , some ascribing them to the latter anastasius ; others claiming that there was but one bishop of that name .
