| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Byzantine Empire |
 | | After Syria, Egypt, and Africa had been lost to the Arabs, there was no further object in trying to establish Monothelitism. | | | This is the first appearance of the two foes who were slowly but surely to bring about the destruction of the empire, and the worst feature of their case was that the Greeks themselves prepared the way for their future destroyers. | | | As has been repeatedly observed, the activity of these rulers was concentrated on the Herculean task of defending the empire against the foreign foes that were bearing down on it from all sides. |
