Malalas and the Debate over Chalcedon
195
mit that Malalas’ Chronicle demonstrates an overarching conservative, bureaucratic
tendency to imperium and religious differences, but that neo-Chalcedonianism may
have been an influence as well. Many people must have been indifferent to, or tired of,
the wrangling about Chalcedon, but an additional consideration is that genres such as
the chronicle and the kontakion, at least at this stage, did not allow full expression of
a theological position, even supposing that the author was theologically interested or
engaged. With respect to the chronicle genre the situation possibly changed later with
Theophanes and George the Monk.
