During the following days, however, an attempt was made to reach a broader agreement. These sessions Basil and the disputed bishops did not attend, while Acacius and the others did. Acacius proposed a new version of the creed with notes stating that the Son was like the Father, thus, compromising between the controversial language of [[Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed|Nicea]] and Antioch, and condemning [[Anomoeanism]].<ref>Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 40.</ref>
In the end, the council remained divided. Basil, George of Laodicea, and their party [[deposition|deposed ]] or [[Excommunication|excommunicated ]] their opponents, including Acacius, George of Alexandria, Uranius, Theodulus of Chaeretapa, Theodosius of Philadelphia, Evagrius of Mytilene, Leontius of Tripolis, [[Eudoxius of Antioch]], [[Eusebius of Caesarea]], as well as one of those who had already faced charges, Patrophilus. Acacius and his party challenged the decisions, as did the Anomoeans.<ref>Philostorgius, in Photius, ''Epitome of the Ecclesiastical History of Philostorgius'', book 4, chapter 11.</ref><ref>Socrates Scholasticus, ''Church History'', book 2, chapter 40.</ref>
