Aphthartodocetae

Also known as Julianism, Phantasiasts

undated

Split among Miaphysites over whether Christ's body was incorruptible before the resurrection.

Wikipedia extract

The Aphthartodocetae, also called Julianists or Phantasiasts by their opponents, were members of a 6th-century Non-Chalcedonian sect. Their leader, Julian of Halicarnassus, taught that Christ's body was always incorruptible and only appeared to corrupt and exhibit blameless passions. This was in disagreement with another Non-Chalcedonian leader, Severus of Antioch, who insisted that Christ's body was passible, truly manifested blameless passions, was corruptible, and only became incorruptible following the resurrection.
