Flavian was appointed Patriarch of Antioch as the successor to Patr. Palladius by emperor [[Flavius Anastasius|Anastasius]], a [[Monophysitism|Monophysite]], after he agreed to accept the controversial [[Henoticon]] of emperor [[Zeno (emperor)|Zeno]] that was an attempt to cure the split between the Chalcedonian and non-Chalcedonian parties.
