Maximus, abbot of Chrysopolis (A.D. 662), mentions, in a letter to a nobleman named Petrus, a treatise on the union and distinction of two natures in Jesus Christ, which he had addressed to Cosmas.

In a second letter to Cosmas, Maximus professes his sorrow at the calumnies spread abroad against Gregory, praefect of Africa (Migne, Patrol. Graec. 91; Maximus, 307-309, 313, 334; Ceillier, 11:768, 769).
