The Patriarchate of Antioch...

has released it's official English version of its June 17 decision which you can see here. The English language document is in agreement with its official Arabic translation and the first two pages of information presented in the antiochian.org pdf still posted as of this morning are not official.

The most notable difference is that there is apparently no Arabic word, and hence no English word translated as "auxiliary" , the Bishops are referred to as "bishops who assist the Metropolitan". We'll see, of course, what that means in practical terms and my guess is that this discussion is not closed but at least we have official Arabic and English translations to work with.
