It clearly uses a form of theotokos. See it yourself on the picture of the fragment. Looks like theoto...then probably a K.

Theotokos does mean literally “God bearer...”

It’s good Trinitarian theology if you think about it for a bit.

Mary was bearing the incarnate, second person of the Trinity. Otherwise, Jesus was not God. And we know He was. “The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

It’s not good theology to declare the Son to be God, separate from the Father.

**Mary was bearing the incarnate, second person of the Trinity. Otherwise, Jesus was not God. And we know He was. “The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”**

Even the Son declared that the Father was the divine power that dwelled him, and he in the Father.

Show me where the Father is not present when looking at the Son.
