The fine print helps.

I was hoping they weren't calling Justin Martyr a heretic since he, too, was a premillennialist.

It appears they've given themselves some wiggle room in the actual charge against it. "As taught by Apollonarius....bodily pleasures..."

Ideally, but not necessarily. ;)

I am not an expert on the writings of early church saints, so I can't argue whether or not Justin's use of the term "1000 years" qualifies him as a premillennialist. I know the term was for some time a popular way to express a long period of time. I'm guessing that, after this council, the term got dropped like a bad habit, to avoid any further misunderstandings.
