That’s one council.

LOL. Yes, that's one, which proves the point from my previous post:

"Mother of God" was commonly used before the 4th council and is referenced in previous council records.

When I finish this project for work, I'll give more on this.

Suffice to say your post does not prove your point.

Origen (d. 254) is often cited as the earliest author to use theotokos for Mary (Socrates, Ecclesiastical History 7.32 (PG 67, 812 B) citing Origen’s Commentary on Romans). Although this testimony is uncertain, the term was used c. 250 by Dionysius of Alexandria, in an epistle to Paul of Samosata.[18]
