Summary/Abstract: The first section specifies the unique features of the Dated Synod creed. The analysis of the text shows that the dated creed represents some kind of a compromise between Western theologians and the circle of Basil of Ancyra, especially the clear rejection of the theology of Aëtius. Then Arian views are exposed, together with the views of the first Arian generations. The connection is established between the Arian Thalia and the Neo-Arian theology. We can arrive at a conclusion that the accommodationist text of the ‘Dated Synod’ represents a transitional period during which, first under the emperor’s infl uence an attempt was made to reconcile the West with the East, excluding the Anomoeans and disregarding the Homoousians.
