Disputed. The deposition and the death are certain. The beating is not uniformly attested.
Flavian held a home synod in 448 that condemned Eutyches. At Ephesus in 449 Dioscorus deposed him. He died shortly afterward. Some accounts say he was beaten; others are quieter. Leo treated him as a martyr of the two-natures confession.
