Eustathius of Antioch

[Steven Avery]

This looks like it will take some additional checking.

Eustathius of Antioch early 4th century - sometimes Eustatius

Very possibly the same, note Orthodox Wiki has two entries

Eustathius of Sebaste

I wonder if he means Euthalius, not Eustat(h)ius? There are several mistakes in there, so it may be an issue of accuracy (I'll try to hunt it done, but it's never appeared to me before anywhere else--looks like his only surviving work is from about 311, De Engastrimytho contra Origenem)

Note on Macedonius, Patriarch of Constantinople from 495 to 511​

An interesting anachronism is present in the above text from The Holy Bible According To the Authorized Version, noting Θεός was quoted by Chrysostom (347-407), then in the same sentence he says Macedonius (a much later Patriarch of Constantinople!) "was accused of altering the reading to Θεός." Chrysostom is clear in his commentary on 1 Timothy 3:16: Θεὸς ἐφανερώθη ἐν σαρκὶ, τουτέστιν, Ὁ δημιουργὸς ὤφθη, φησὶν, ἐν σαρκί. Ἐδικαιώθη ἐν πνεύματι.—“‘God was manifest in the flesh.’ That is, the Creator was seen, he says, in the flesh. ‘He was justified in the Spirit.’” There is no reason to assume it is "probable" his text was altered.

Macedonius was actually accused of altering the reading to be Deus apparuit per carnem, "God appeared through the flesh," and not Deus apparuit/manifestus est in carne, "God was manifest in the flesh." Such a reading cannot be arrived at by the altering of OC to ϴ̅C (Θεός). The accusations against Macedonius were set up by false witnesses sent by Xenaïas, a Eutychian bishop--the charge itself is false. It is fairly universally recognized that this was because Emperor Anastasius I wanted him gone for refusing to denounce the Chalcedonian Creed.

Just another example of how sloppy some of the mainstream text-critical arguments are...

Very possible, I wondered the same.
