Zeno (16), emperor of the East a.d. 474–491,
is famous in church history for the publication
of the HENOTICON and for his active part in
the prolonged disputes about Timotheus
Aelurus, Timotheus Salofaciolus, Peter Mongus,
and Peter the Fuller. Pope SIMPLICIUS and
ACACIUS used him very effectually against their opponents. For a full analysis of the
letters of popes Simplicius and Felix III. to
him see Ceillier, t. x. pp. 410–420.
