Gloriam sanctitatis tuae nostra humilitas deprecatur ut secundum apostolicae sedis quam cognouimus gubernari per tuam sanctitatem, hoc curui precamur ut actus gestorum a beati Petri apostoli principatum usque ad uestra tempora, quae gesta sunt in sedem tuam, nobis per ordinem pacis enarrare digneris ; quatenus nostra humilitas sentire cognoscat, qui meruit de episcoporum supradictae sanctae sedis martyrio coronari, uel qui contra canones apostolorum excessisse cognoscitur. Ora pro nobis, beatissimae papa.

Our humility beseeches the glory of your sanctity, that, in accordance with the Apostolic See, which we have known to be governed by your sanctity, thus bowed we pray this: that you would deign to relate to us, in the order of peace, the acts of the deeds from the principate of the blessed Peter the Apostle up to your times, which have been accomplished in your See; so that our humility may come to perceive who merited to be crowned with martyrdom among the bishops of the aforesaid holy See, or who is known to have exceeded against the canons of the Apostles. Pray for us, most blessed pope.

Damasus episcopus urbis Romae Hieronimo presbitero.

Damasus, bishop of the city of Rome, to Hieronymus the presbyter.

Gaudet Ecclesia tuo fonte iam satiata et amplius sitit curiositas temporum sacerdotalis ut quod dignum est cognoscatur et quod indignum respuatur. Tamen quod gestum est, quod potuimus repperire, nostrae sedis studium ad tuam caritatem gaudentes direximus. Ora pro nobis ad sanctam Resurrectionem, frater et conpresbiter.

The Church rejoices, already satiated by your fount, and the sacerdotal curiosity of the times thirsts further, so that what is worthy may be known and what is unworthy rejected. Nevertheless, what has been done—what we were able to discover—the diligence of our see, rejoicing, we have directed to your charity. Pray for us unto the holy Resurrection, brother and fellow-presbyter.

I. PETRVS

1. PETER

1 Beatus Petrus, apostolus et princeps apostolorum, Antiochenus, filius Iohannis, prouinciae Gallileae, uico Bethsaida, frater Andreae, primum sedit cathedram episcopatus in Antiochia annos VII. Hic Petrus ingressus in urbe Roma, Nerone Caesare, ibique sedit cathedram episcopatus ann. XXV m. II d. III.

1 Blessed Peter, apostle and prince of the apostles, an Antiochene, son of John, of the province of Galilee, from the village Bethsaida, brother of Andrew, first sat the chair of the episcopate in Antioch for 7 years. This Peter, having entered into the city of Rome, when Nero was Caesar, there sat the chair of the episcopate for 25 years, 2 months, 3 days.

Fuit autem temporibus Tiberii Cesaris et Gaii et Tiberii Claudi et Neronis. 2 Hic scripsit duas epistulas, quae catholicae nominantur, et euangelium Marci, quia Marcus auditor eius fuit et filius de baptismo ; post, omnem quattuor euangeliorum fontem, quae ad interrogationem et testimonio eius, hoc est Petri, firmatae sunt, dum alius grece, alius hebraice, alius latine consonent, tamen eius testimonio sunt firmatae.

He was, moreover, in the times of Tiberius Caesar and Gaius and Tiberius Claudius and Nero. 2 He wrote two epistles, which are called catholic, and the Gospel of Mark, because Mark was his auditor and a son by baptism; afterward, the entire fountain of the four Gospels, which at his questioning and by his testimony—that is, of Peter—were made firm, while one in Greek, another in Hebrew, another in Latin are in consonance, nevertheless by his testimony they were confirmed.

3 Hic ordinauit duos episcopos, Linum et Cletum, qui praesentaliter omne ministerium sacerdotale in urbe Roma populo uel superuenientium exhiberent ; beatus autem Petrus ad orationem et praedicationem, populum erudiens, uacabat. 4 Hic cum Simone mago multas disputationes habuit, tam ante Neronem imperatorem quam ante populum ; ut quos beatus Petrus ad fidem Christi adgregabat, ille per magias et deceptiones segregabat. Et cum diutius altercarent, Simon diuino nutu interemptus est.

3 He ordained two bishops, Linus and Cletus, who in person would exhibit the whole sacerdotal ministry in the city of Rome to the people or to those arriving; but blessed Peter had leisure for prayer and preaching, educating the people. 4 He held many disputations with Simon the Magus, both before Emperor Nero and before the people; so that those whom blessed Peter was aggregating to the faith of Christ, he by magics and deceptions was segregating. And when they altercated for a longer time, Simon, at the divine nod, was struck down.

5 Hic beatum Clementem episcopum consecrauit, eique cathedram uel ecclesiam omnem disponendam commisit, dicens : « Sicut mihi gubernandi tradita est a domino meo Iesu Christo potestas ligandi soluendique, ita et ego tibi committo ut ordinans dispositores diuersarum causarum, per quos actus ecclesiasticus profligetur, et tu minime in curis saeculi deditus repperiaris ; sed solummodo ad orationem et praedicare populo uacare stude. »

5 He consecrated the blessed bishop Clement, and to him he committed the cathedra and the whole church to be disposed, saying: «Just as to me has been handed over by my Lord Jesus Christ the power of governing, of binding and of loosing, so also I commit to you that, appointing dispositors of diverse causes, through whom the ecclesiastical business may be carried through, you yourself may by no means be found given over to the cares of the world; but strive to be free solely for prayer and to preach to the people.»

6 Post hanc dispositionem martyrio cum Paulo coronatur, post passionem Domini anno XXXVIII. Qui sepultus est uia Aurelia, in templum Apollinis, iuxta locum ubi crucifixus est, iuxta palatium Neronianum, in Vaticanum, iuxta territurium Triumphalem, III kal. Iul.

IV. CLEMENS

4. CLEMENT

Fuit autem temporibus Galbae et Vespasiani, a consulatu Tragali et Italici (68) usque ad Vespasiano VIIII et Tito (76). Hic dum multos libros zelo fidei christianae religionis adscriberet, martyrio coronatur. 2 Hic fecit VII regiones, diuidit notariis fidelibus ecclesiae, qui gestas martyrum sollicite et curiose, unusquisque per regionem suam, diligenter perquireret.

1 Clement, Roman by nation, from the region of the Caelian Mount, son of Faustinus, sat 9 years 2 months 10 days.

This man, while he was inscribing many books with zeal for the faith of the Christian religion, is crowned with martyrdom. 2 He made 7 regions, he divided them among the faithful notaries of the church, that they might, each through his own region, carefully and curiously inquire into the deeds of the martyrs.

3 Hic fecit duas epistolas quae catholicae nominantur. Hic ex praecepto beati Petri suscepit ecclesiae pontificatum gubernandi, sicut ei fuerat a domino Iesu Christo cathedra tradita uel commissa ; tamen in epistola quae ad Iacobum scripta est, qualiter ei a beato Petro commissa est ecclesia repperies. Ideo propterea Linus et Cletus ante eum conscribuntur, eo quod ab ipso principe apostolorum ad ministerium sacerdotale exhibendum sunt episcopi ordinati.

3 He made two epistles which are named catholic. By the precept of blessed Peter he undertook the pontificate of governing the church, just as to him by the Lord Jesus Christ the cathedra had been handed over or committed ; however, in the epistle which is written to James, you will find in what manner the church was committed to him by blessed Peter. Therefore for this reason Linus and Cletus are written down before him, because by the very prince of the apostles they were ordained bishops to exhibit the sacerdotal ministry.

1 Liberius, natione Romanus, ex patre Augusto, sedit ann. VI m. III d. IIII. Fuit autem temporibus Constantini filii Constantini usque ad Constantio Aug.

1 Liberius, by nation a Roman, of a father Augustus, sat 6 years 3 months 4 days. He was, moreover, in the times of Constantine, son of Constantine, up to Constantius Augustus.

III. 2 Hic exilio deportatur a Constantio eo quod noluisset heresi arrianae consentire, et fecit in exilio annos III. Et congregans sacerdotes cum consilio eorum Liberius ordinauit in locum eius Felicem presbiterum episcopum, uenerabilem uirum.

3. 2 He is deported into exile by Constantius because he had been unwilling to consent to the Arian heresy, and he spent 3 years in exile. And, gathering the priests, with their counsel Liberius ordained in his place Felix, a presbyter, as bishop, a venerable man.

Et fecit concilium Felix et inuenit duos presbiteros consentientes Constantio Augusto arriano, nomine Vrsacium et Valentem, et damnauit eos in concilio XLVIII episcoporum. Post paucos autem dies zelo ducti Vrsacius et Valens rogauerunt Constantium Augustum ut reuocaret Liberium de exilio, ut unam tantum communionem participaret, extra secundum baptismum. Tunc missa auctoritate per Catulinum agentem in rebus et simul Vrsacius et Valens uenerunt ad Liberium.

And Felix held a council and found two presbyters who consented with Constantius Augustus the Arian, named Ursacius and Valens, and he condemned them in a council of 48 bishops. But after a few days, driven by zeal, Ursacius and Valens asked Constantius Augustus to recall Liberius from exile, so that he might partake of only one communion, apart from the second baptism. Then, with authority sent through Catulinus, an agent in affairs, Ursacius and Valens likewise came to Liberius.

Qui Liberius consensit praeceptis Augusti ut unam tantum participatio communionis conueniret cum hereticis, tantum ut non rebaptizarent. Tunc reuocauerunt Liberium de exilio. 4 Rediens autem Liberius de exilio, habitauit in cymiterio sanctae Agnae apud germanam Constanti Augusti, ut quasi per eius interuentionem aut rogatu rediret Liberius in ciuitatem.

Liberius consented to the precepts of the Augustus that there should be only a single participation of communion with the heretics, provided only that they would not re-baptize. Then they recalled Liberius from exile. 4 But returning from exile, Liberius lived in the cemetery of Saint Agnes, near the sister of Constantius Augustus, so that, as if through her intervention or request, Liberius might return into the city.

Tunc Constantia Augusta, quae fidelis erat domino Iesu Christo, noluit rogare Constantium Augustum germanum suum, quia senserat consilium. 5 Eodem tempore Constantius una cum Vrsacio et Valente conuocauerunt aliquos qui ex fece arriana erant, et quasi facto concilio misit et reuocauit Liberium de cymiterio beatae Agnae. Et ingressus Roma, in ipsa hora Constantius Augustus fecit concilium cum hereticis, simul etiam Vrsacium et Valentem, et eregit Felicem de episcopatu, qui erat catholicus, et reuocauit Liberium.

Then Constantia Augusta, who was faithful to the Lord Jesus Christ, did not wish to ask her brother Constantius Augustus, because she had perceived the plan. 5 At the same time Constantius, together with Vrsacius and Valens, convened some who were from the dregs of the Arian party, and, as if a council had been held, he sent and recalled Liberius from the cemetery of blessed Agnes. And, upon entering Rome, in that very hour Constantius Augustus held a council with the heretics, along with Vrsacius and Valens as well, and removed Felix from the episcopate, who was catholic, and recalled Liberius.

Ab eodem die fuit persecutio in clero ita ut intra ecclesiam presbiteri et clerici necarentur et martyrio coronarentur. Qui depositus Felix de episcopatum habitauit in praediolo suo uia Portuense, ubi et requieuit in pace IIII kal. Aug.

From that same day there was persecution against the clergy, such that within the church presbyters and clerics were slain and crowned with martyrdom. Felix, having been deposed from the episcopate, dwelt on his little estate on the Portuense road, where also he rested in peace on July 29.

Ingressus Liberius in urbe Roma IIII non. Aug. consensit Constantio heretico.

Liberius, having entered the city of Rome on the 4th day before the Nones of August (August 2), consented to the heretic Constantius.

6 Non tamen rebaptizatus est Liberius, sed consensum praebuit, et tenuit basilicas beati Petri et beati Pauli et basilicam Constantinianam annos VI, et persecutio magna fuit in urbe Roma, ita ut clerus et sacerdotes neque in ecclesia neque in balnea haberent introitum. 7 Hic Liberius ornauit de platomis marmoreis sepulchrum sanctae Agnae martyris. Omnes itaque anni Felicis in huius ordine dinumerantur.

6 Nevertheless, Liberius was not re-baptized, but he offered consent, and he held the basilicas of blessed Peter and blessed Paul and the Constantinian basilica for 6 years, and there was a great persecution in the city of Rome, such that the clergy and the priests had no entry either in the church or in the baths. 7 This Liberius adorned with marble slabs the sepulchre of Saint Agnes the martyr. All therefore the years of Felix are enumerated in the order of this one.

8 Hic fecit basilicam nomini suo iuxta macellum Libiae, et fecit ordinationes II in urbe Roma per mens. Decemb., presbiteros XVIII, diaconos V ; episcopos per diuersa loca XVIIII. Qui etiam sepultus est uia Salaria, in cymiterio Priscillae, V id. Sept.

He declared Constantius, the son of Constantine, a heretic and rebaptized a second time by Eusebius, the Nicomedian bishop, near Nicomedia, in a villa which is called Aquilone.

Fuit autem temporibus Iuliani.

1 Damasus, by nation a Spaniard, son of Antonius, sat ann. 18 m. 3 d. 11. And with him Ursinus was ordained under a rival claim ; and when a council of priests had been held they established Damasus, because he was the stronger and had the greater multitude, and thus Damasus was established ; and they removed Ursinus from the City and appointed him bishop at Naples ; and Damasus remained in the city of Rome as prelate in the apostolic see. He was, moreover, in the times of Julian.

2 Hic fecit basilicas duas : una beato Laurentio iuxta theatrum et alia uia Ardeatina ubi requiescit ; et in Catacumbas, ubi iacuerunt corpora sanctorum apostolorum Petri et Pauli, in quo loco platomam ipsam, ubi iacuerunt corpora sancta, uersibus exornauit.

He sought out and found many bodies of saints, of whom he also made declaration in verses. He made a constitution concerning the church.

Eodem tempore fuit ecclesia, hoc est prima sedis apostolica, executrix.

2 Under his episcopate there again came a report from Greece: that Peter the Alexandrian had been recalled by Acacius, bishop of Constantinople. Then the venerable Felix, archbishop of the apostolic see of the city of Rome, sending a Defensor with the counsel of his see, and a council having been held, condemned Acacius together with Peter. 3 After 3 years there again came a report from Emperor Zeno that, being penitent, Acacius should return.

Tunc papa Felix misit duos episcopos, Mesenum et Vitalem, ut si inuenirent conplicem Petri Acacium iterum damnarent eos ; si non, offerrent libellum paenitentiae. Qui dum introissent Constantinopolim corrupti sunt paecuniae datum suprascripti episcopi et non fecerunt secundum praeceptum sedis apostolicae. 4 Venientes uero Romam ad sedem apostolicam, fecit papa Felix concilium et facta examinatione inuenit iudicius ambos episcopos, id est Mesenum et Vitalem, reos et corruptos paecuniae ; et eregit Mesenum et Vitalem episcopos a communionem.

Then Pope Felix sent two bishops, Mesenum and Vitalem, that, if they should find Acacius, the accomplice of Peter, they should condemn them again ; if not, they should offer a libellus of penitence. They, when they had entered Constantinople, were corrupted by money given by the above-written bishop and did not act according to the precept of the apostolic see. 4 But coming to Rome to the apostolic see, Pope Felix held a council and, an examination having been made, he found by judgment both bishops, that is, Mesenum and Vitalem, guilty and corrupted by money ; and he removed Mesenum and Vitalem, bishops, from communion.

Tunc Mesenus episcopus non se tacuit corruptum per pecunia ; cui concilius concessit tempus paenitentiae. Hoc factum tempore Odobacris regis.

1 Gelasius, natione Afer, ex patre Valerio, sedit ann. IIII m. VIII d. XVIII. Fuit autem temporibus Theodorici regis et Zenonis Aug.

1 Gelasius, by nation an African, from father Valerius, sat for 4 years, 8 months, 18 days. He was, moreover, in the times of King Theodoric and of Zeno the Augustus.

Huius temporibus inuenti sunt Manichei in urbe Roma quos exilio deportari praecepit, quorum codices ante fores basilicae sanctae Mariae incendio concremauit. 2 Hic sub gesta synodi, cum fletu, sub satisfactione libelli, purgatum Mesenum episcopum reuocauit ; quem ecclesiae suae restituit, qui peccauerat in causa Acacii et Petri. Hic fuit amator pauperum et clerum ampliauit.

In his times Manichaeans were discovered in the city of Rome, whom he ordered to be deported into exile, and their codices he burned up by fire before the doors of the basilica of Saint Mary. 2 He, under the acts of the synod, with weeping, under the satisfaction of a libellus, recalled Misenus the bishop, purged ; whom he restored to his own church, who had erred in the case of Acacius and Peter. He was a lover of the poor and enlarged the clergy.

Hic liberauit a periculo famis ciuitatem Romanam. 3 Hic fecit constitutum de omnem ecclesiam. Huius temporibus iterum uenit relatio de Grecias eo quod multa mala et homicidia fierent a Petro et Acacio Constantinopolim.

This man freed the Roman city from the danger of famine. 3 This man made a constitution for the whole Church. In his times again there came a relation from Greece that many evils and homicides were being perpetrated by Peter and Acacius at Constantinople.

Eodem tempore fugiens Iohannis Alexandrinus episcopus catholicus et uenit Romam ad sedem apostolicam ; quem beatus Gelasius suscepit cum gloria, cui etiam et sedem secundam praebuit. 4 Ipsis temporibus fecit synodum et misit per tractum Orientis et iterum misit et damnauit in perpetuum Acacium et Petrum, si non penitens sub satisfactionem libelli postularet paenitentiam. 5 Hic dedicauit basilicam sanctae Eufimiae martyris in ciuitate Tiburtina et alias basilicas sanctorum Nicandri, Eleutheri et Andreae in uia Lauicana, in uilla Pertusa.

At the same time, fleeing, John the Alexandrian, a catholic bishop, came to Rome to the Apostolic See ; the blessed Gelasius received him with glory, and even provided him the second seat. 4 In those very times he held a synod and sent through the tract of the East, and again he sent and condemned in perpetuity Acacius and Peter, unless, being penitent, under a libellus of satisfaction they should ask for penance. 5 He dedicated the basilica of Saint Euphemia the martyr in the Tiburtine city, and other basilicas of Saints Nicander, Eleutherius, and Andrew on the Via Lauicana, in the villa Pertusa.

Fecit autem basilicam sanctae Mariae in uia Laurentina, in fundum Crispinis. 6 Hic fecit V libros aduersus Nestorium et Eutychem ; fecit et ymnos in modum beati Ambrosii ; item duos libros aduersus Arrium ; fecit etiam et sacramentorum praefationes et orationes cauto sermone et epistulas fidei delimato sermone multas. Sub huius episcopatu clerus creuit.

He also made a basilica of Saint Mary on the Laurentine Way, on the estate of the Crispini. 6 He made 5 books against Nestorius and Eutyches ; he also made hymns in the manner of blessed Ambrose ; likewise two books against Arius ; he also composed prefaces of the sacraments and orations with cautious speech, and many epistles of faith in a polished style. Under his episcopate the clergy increased.

1 Anastasius, by nation a Roman, son of Peter, from Region 5, Caput Tauri, sat 1 year 11 months 24 days. He was, moreover, in the times of King Theodoric.

Hic fecit confessionem beati Laurenti martyris ex argento, pens. lib. LXXX.

He made the confessio of blessed Lawrence the martyr out of silver, weighing 80 pounds.

2 Eodem tempore multi clerici et presbiteri se a communione ipsius erigerunt, eo quod communicasset sine consilio presbiterorum uel episcoporum uel clericorum cunctae ecclesiae catholicae diacono Thesalonicense, nomine Fotino, qui communis erat Acacio et quia uoluit occulte reuocare Acacium et non potuit. Qui nutu diuino percussus est. 3 Hic fecit ordinationem I in urbe Roma per mens.

2 At the same time many clerics and presbyters raised themselves from his communion, because he had communicated, without the counsel of the presbyters or bishops or clerics of the whole catholic church, with the Thessalonican deacon named Photinus, who was in communion with Acacius, and because he wished secretly to recall Acacius and could not. He was smitten by divine will. 3 He made 1 ordination in the city of Rome in the month.

Decemb., presbiteros XII ; episcopos per diuersa loca XVI. Qui etiam sepultus est in basilica beati Petri apostoli, XIII kal. Decemb.

53. SYMMACHUS (498-514)

Decemb. usque in die XIIII kal. Aug.

December up to the 14th day before the Kalends of August.

Hic sub intentione ordinatus est uno die cum Laurentio, Symmachus in basilica Constantiniana, Laurentius in basilica beatae Mariae. 2 Ex qua causa separatus est clerus et diuisus est et senatus, alii cum Symmachum, alii uero cum Laurentium. Et facta intentione hoc constituerunt partes ut ambo ad Rauennam pergerent, ad iudicium regis Theodorici.

He, under contention, was ordained on one day together with Laurentius: Symmachus in the Constantinian basilica, Laurentius in the basilica of blessed Mary. 2 From which cause the clergy was separated and the senate too was divided, some with Symmachus, but others with Laurentius. And, the contention having been set, the parties decreed this: that both should proceed to Ravenna, to the judgment of King Theodoric.

Qui dum ambo introissent Rauennam, hoc iudicium aequitatis inuenit ut qui primo ordinatus fuisset, uel ubi pars maxima cognosceretur, ipse sederet in sedem apostolicam. Quod tamen aequitas in Symmachum inuenit cognitio ueritatis, et factus est praesul Symmachus. Eodem tempore papa Symmachus congregauit synodum et constituit Laurentium in Nucerinam ciuitatem episcopum intuitu misericordiae.

When both had entered Ravenna, this judgment of equity was found: that he who had been ordained first, or where the greater party should be recognized, he himself should sit in the apostolic seat. Yet the recognition of truth found this equity in favor of Symmachus, and Symmachus was made prelate. At the same time Pope Symmachus convened a synod and appointed Laurentius as bishop in the city of Nuceria, out of regard for mercy.

3 Post annos uero IIII, zelo ducti aliqui ex clero et aliqui ex senatu, maxime Festus et Probinus, incriminauerunt Symmachum et subornauerunt testes falsos quos miserunt Rauennam ad regem Theodoricum, accusantes beatum Symmachum ; et occulte reuocauerunt Laurentium post libellum Romae factum ; et fecerunt schisma et diuisus est iterum clerus ; et alii communicabant Symmacho, alii Laurentio. Tunc Festus et Probinus senatores miserunt relationem regi et coeperunt agere ut uisitatorem daret rex sedi apostolicae. Tunc rex dedit Petrum, Altinae ciuitatis episcopum, quod canones prohibebant.

3 After 4 years indeed, some from the clergy and some from the senate, led by zeal, especially Festus and Probinus, incriminated Symmachus and suborned false witnesses whom they sent to Ravenna to King Theodoric, accusing blessed Symmachus ; and they secretly recalled Laurentius after a libellus drawn up at Rome ; and they made a schism and again the clergy was divided ; and some were communicating with Symmachus, others with Laurentius. Then Festus and Probinus, senators, sent a report to the king and began to act that the king might give a visitor to the apostolic see. Then the king appointed Peter, bishop of the city of Altinum, which the canons forbade.

4 Eodem tempore beatus Symmachus congregauit episcopos CXV, et facto synodo purgatur a crimine falso et damnatur Petrus Altinas inuasor sedis apostolicae et Laurentius Nucerinus, quare uiuo episcopo Symmacho peruaserunt sedem eius. Tunc ab omnibus episcopis et presbiteris et diaconibus et omni clero reintegratur sedi apostolicae beatus Symmachus cum gloria apud beatum Petrum sedere praesul. 5 Eodem tempore Festus caput senati excons.

4 At the same time blessed Symmachus gathered 115 bishops, and a synod having been held he is purged from the false crime, and Peter of Altinum, the usurper of the apostolic see, is condemned, as well as Laurentius of Nuceria, because, while the bishop Symmachus was alive, they had seized his see. Then by all the bishops and presbyters and deacons and all the clergy blessed Symmachus is restored to the apostolic see, with glory to sit as prelate at Blessed Peter’s. 5 At the same time Festus, head of the senate, ex-consul.

et Probinus excons. coeperunt intra urbem Romam pugnare cum aliis senatoribus et maxime cum Fausto excons. Et caedes et homicidia in clero ex inuidia.

and Probinus, ex-consul, began within the city of Rome to fight with other senators, and especially with Faustus, ex-consul. And slaughters and homicides in the clergy out of envy.

Qui uero communicabant beato Symmacho iuste, publice qui inuenti fuissent intra Vrbem gladio occidebantur ; etiam et sanctimoniales mulieres et uirgines deponentes de monasteria uel de habitaculis suis, denudantes sexum femineum, caedibus plagarum adflictas uulnerabantur ; et omni die pugnas contra ecclesiam in media ciuitate gerebant. Etiam et multos sacerdotes occidit, inter quos et Dignissimum et Gordianum, presbiteros a uincula sancti Petri apostoli et sanctos Iohannem et Paulum, quos fustibus et gladio interfecerunt ; nam multos christianos, ut nulli esset securitas die uel nocte de clero in ciuitate ambulare. Solus autem Faustus excons.

But those who were in communion with blessed Symmachus rightly—whoever had been found publicly within the City—were killed by the sword; even consecrated women and virgins, dragging them out of the monasteries or from their habitations, denuding the female sex, were wounded, afflicted with beatings and blows; and every day they conducted combats against the church in the middle of the city. He also killed many priests, among whom were Dignissimus and Gordianus, presbyters of St Peter-in-Chains and of Saints John and Paul, whom they slew with clubs and the sword; indeed many Christians, so that there was security for no one, by day or by night, for any of the clergy to walk in the city. But only Faustus, ex-consul.

pro ecclesia pugnabat.

he was fighting for the church.

Post haec omnia beatus Symmachus inuenit Manicheos in urbe Roma, quorum omnia simulacra uel codices ante fores basilicae Constantinianae incendio concremauit et eos ipsos exilio religauit. Fuit autem a consulatu Paulini (498) usque ad consulatum Senatoris (514).

After all these things, the blessed Symmachus found Manichaeans in the city of Rome, whose every image and codex he burned up by fire before the doors of the Constantinian basilica, and those very men he bound to exile. He was, moreover, from the consulship of Paulinus (498) up to the consulship of Senator (514).

This man set the clergy in order and instructed with psalms.

Hic fecit basilicam in territorio Albanense, in possessionem Mefontis.

He built a basilica in the Alban territory, on the estate of Mefons.

2 Eodem tempore ex constitutum synodi misit in Grecias humanitatem ostendens sedis apostolicae, quia Greci obligati erant sub uinculo anathematis propter Petrum Alexandrinum et Acacium Constantinopolitanum episcopum. Sub Iohanne episcopo Constantinopolitano, cum consilio regis Theodorici, direxit Ennodium episcopum Ticinensem, et Fortunatum, episcopum Catinensem, et Venantium, presbiterum urbis Romae, et Vitalem, diaconum sedis apostolicae, et Hilarum, notarium sedis suprascriptae. Euntes ad Anastasium Augustum, nihil egerunt.

2 At the same time, in accordance with the constitution of the synod, he sent to the Greeks, displaying the humanity of the Apostolic See, because the Greeks were bound under the bond of anathema on account of Peter of Alexandria and Acacius, bishop of Constantinople. Under John, bishop of Constantinople, with the counsel of King Theodoric, he dispatched Ennodius, bishop of Ticinum, and Fortunatus, bishop of Catania, and Venantius, presbyter of the city of Rome, and Vitalis, deacon of the Apostolic See, and Hilarus, notary of the aforesaid See. Going to Anastasius Augustus, they accomplished nothing.

3 Idem secundo misit Ennodium ipsum et Peregrinum, episcopum Mesenense, portantes epistulas confortatorias fidei et contestationes secretas numero XVIIII et textum libelli. In quo libello noluit sentire Anastasius Augustus, quia et ipse in herese eutychiana communis erat. Volens itaque eos legatos per remunerationem corrumpere ; legati uero sedis apostolicae, contempto Anastasio Augusto, nullatenus consenserunt accipere pecunias, nisi satisfactionem sedis apostolicae operaretur.

3 The same one a second time sent Ennodius himself and Peregrinus, bishop of Messene, carrying confortatory epistles of the faith and secret contestations to the number 19 and the text of the libellus. In which libellus Anastasius Augustus did not wish to hold [that view], for he too was in communion with the Eutychian heresy. Wishing therefore to corrupt those legates by remuneration ; but the legates of the apostolic see, with Anastasius Augustus despised, by no means consented to accept monies, unless he should effect the satisfaction of the apostolic see.

Tunc imperator repletus furia eiecit eos per posterulam et inposuit eos in nauem periculosam cum milites et magistrianos et praefectianos nomine Eliodorum et Demetrium ; qui hoc dedit eis in mandatis imperator Anastasius ut nullam ciuitatem ingrederentur. 4 Legati uero sedis apostolicae secretius suprascriptas epistulas fidei XVIIII per manus monachorum orthodoxorum exposuerunt per omnes ciuitates. Quae tamen epistulae ab episcopis ciuitatum qui erant conplices Anastasii Augusti, timori omnes eas epistulas fidei pro crimine Constantinopolim direxerunt.

Then the emperor, filled with fury, cast them out through a postern gate and put them onto a dangerous ship with soldiers and magistriani and praefectiani named Heliodorus and Demetrius ; the emperor Anastasius gave them this in mandates: that they should enter no city. 4 But the legates of the apostolic see, more secretly, delivered the above-written letters of faith, 19 in number, by the hands of orthodox monks through all the cities. Yet these letters, by the bishops of the cities who were accomplices of Anastasius Augustus, out of fear were all sent as a crime to Constantinople.

Furore repletus Anastasius contra papa Hormisda inter alia sacra sua hoc scripsit dicens : « Nos iubere uolumus, non nobis iuberi. »

Filled with fury, Anastasius wrote this against Pope Hormisdas, among his other sacred writings, saying: «We wish to command, not to be commanded.»

5 Eodem tempore nutu diuinitatis percussus est fulmine diuino Anastasius imperator et obiit. Sumpsit itaque imperium Iustinus orthodoxus et direxit auctoritatem suam ad papam Hormisdam sedis apostolicae, Gratum et inlustrem nomine, sperans a sedem apostolicam ut reintegraretur pax ecclesiarum. Tunc Hormisda episcopus cum consilio regis Theodorici direxit a sedem apostolicam Germanum, Capuanum episcopum, et Iohannem et Blandum presbiteros et Felicem et Dioscorum, diacones sedis apostolicae, et Petrum notarium.

5 At the same time, by the nod of divinity, the emperor Anastasius was struck by a divine thunderbolt and died. Therefore the orthodox Justin assumed the imperium and sent his authority to Pope Hormisdas of the Apostolic See, Gratus by name and Illustrious by rank, hoping from the Apostolic See that the peace of the churches might be reintegrated. Then Bishop Hormisdas, with the counsel of King Theodoric, dispatched from the Apostolic See Germanus, bishop of Capua, and John and Blandus, presbyters, and Felix and Dioscorus, deacons of the Apostolic See, and Peter, notary.

quos monitos ex omni parte fidei, et textum libelli paenitentiae. Qui uenientes iuxta Constantinopolim, tanta gratia fidei refulsit ut multitudo monachorum orthodoxorum et inlustrium uirorum maxima multitudo, in quibus Iustinus imperator et Vitalianus consul, simul occurrerunt a Castello Rotundo quod dicitur, usque in ciuitatem Constantinopolim. Cum gloria et laudem ingressi una cum Grato inlustrem, qui suscepti sunt a Iustino orthodoxo Augusto cum gloria.

whom he had instructed on every part of the faith, and with the text of the libellus of penance. When they came near to Constantinople, so great a grace of faith shone forth that a multitude of orthodox monks and a very great multitude of illustrious men—among whom the emperor Justin and the consul Vitalian—together came out to meet them from the place called the Round Castle as far as the city of Constantinople. Having entered with glory and praise together with Gratus the Illustrious, they were received by Justin the orthodox Augustus with glory.

6 Omnis itaque clerus una cum Iohanne episcopo Constantinopolitano, sentientes eo quod gratanter suscepti sunt, sentientes qui erant conplices Anastasii, incluserunt se in ecclesia maiore quae uocatur sancta Sufia et consilio facto mandauerunt imperatori dicentes : « Nisi nobis reddita fuerit ratio quare damnatus est episcopus noster Acacius, nullatenus sentimus sedi apostolicae ........

6 Therefore the whole clergy together with John, bishop of Constantinople—perceiving that they had been gladly received, they who were accomplices of Anastasius—shut themselves up in the greater church which is called Holy Sophia; and, after taking counsel, they sent word to the emperor, saying: «Unless an account be rendered to us why our bishop Acacius has been condemned, by no means do we hold communion with the Apostolic See ........»

8 Hic papa Hormisda perrexit ad regem Theodoricum Rauenna et cum eius consilio misit auctoritatem ad Iustinum et cum uinculo cyrographi et textum libelli reintegrauit ad unitatem sedis apostolicae damnantes Petrum et Acacium uel omnes hereses.

8 Here Pope Hormisdas proceeded to King Theodoric at Ravenna, and with his counsel sent his authority to Justin; and with the bond of a chirograph and the text of the libellus he restored to the unity of the Apostolic See, condemning Peter and Acacius as well as all heresies.

9 Hic inuenit Manicheos, quos etiam discussit cum examinatione plagarum, exilio deportauit ; quorum codices ante fores basilicae Constantinianae incendio concremauit. Huius temporibus episcopatus in Africa post annos LXXIIII reuocatum est, quod ab hereticis fuerat exterminatum.

9 He found the Manichaeans, whom he also investigated with an examination of lash-marks, and he deported them into exile; their codices he consumed by fire before the doors of the Constantinian basilica. In his times the episcopate in Africa, after 74 years, was restored, which had been exterminated by heretics.

10 Eodem tempore uenit regnus cum gemmis praetiosis a rege Francorum Cloduueum christianum, donum beato Petro apostolo. Sub huius episcopatum multa uasa aurea uel argentea uenerunt de Grecias, et

At the same time there came a crown with precious gems from Clovis, the Christian king of the Franks, a gift to the blessed apostle Peter. Under his episcopate many golden or silver vessels came from Greece, and

55. JOHN I (523-526)

1 Iohannes, natione Tuscus, ex patre Constantio, sedit ann. II m. VIIII d. XVI. Fuit autem a consulatu Maximi (523) usque ad consulatum Olybrii (526), temporibus Theodorici et Iustini Augusti christiani.

Hic uocitus est a rege Theodorico Rauenna ; quem ipse rex rogans misit in legationem Constantinopolim ad Iustinum imperatorem orthodoxum, quia eodem tempore Iustinus imperator, uir religiosus, summo ardoris amore religionis christianae uoluit hereticos extricare. Nam summo feruore christianitatis hoc consilio usus est ut ecclesias Arrianorum catholicas consecraret. 2 Pro hanc causam hereticus rex Theodoricus audiens hoc exarsit et uoluit totam Italiam ad gladium extinguere.

He was summoned by King Theodoric to Ravenna ; whom the king himself, entreating, sent on a legation to Constantinople to the orthodox emperor Justin, because at that same time Emperor Justin, a religious man, with the highest ardor of love for the Christian religion, wished to extirpate the heretics. For with the highest fervor of Christianity he used this counsel: that he should consecrate the churches of the Arians as catholic. 2 For this cause the heretical king Theodoric, hearing this, blazed up and wished to extinguish all Italy by the sword.

Eodem tempore Iohannes papa, egrotus infirmitate, cum fletu ambulauit et senatores exconsules cum eo, id est Theodorus, Inportunus, Agapitus excons. et alius Agapitus patricius. Qui hoc accipientes in mandatis legationum ut redderentur ecclesias hereticis in parte Orientis : quod si non, omnem Italiam ad gladio perderet.

At the same time Pope John, sick with infirmity, went with weeping, and the senators, ex-consuls, with him, that is, Theodorus, Inportunus, Agapitus, ex-cons., and another Agapitus, a patrician. They, receiving this in the mandates of the legations: that the churches be returned to the heretics in the part of the East: which, if not, he would destroy all Italy by the sword.

3 Qui dum ambulassent cum Iohannem papam, occurrerunt beato Iohanni a miliario XV omnes ciuitas cum cereos et cruces in honore beatorum apostolorum Petri et Pauli. Qui ueteres Grecorum hoc testificabantur dicentes a tempore Constantini Augusti a beato Siluestro episcopo sedis apostolicae, Iustini Augusti temporibus meruisse parte Greciarum beati Petri apostoli uicarium suscepisse cum gloria. Tunc Iustinus Augustus, dans honorem Deo, humiliauit se pronus et adorauit beatissimum Iohannem papam.

3 While they were walking with Pope John, at milestone 15 the whole city came out to meet the blessed John with wax candles and crosses in honor of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul. The elders of the Greeks bore witness to this, saying that from the time of Constantine Augustus, by blessed Sylvester, bishop of the Apostolic See, in the times of Justin Augustus they had merited that, in a part of the Greek lands, the Vicar of the blessed apostle Peter be received with glory. Then Justin Augustus, giving honor to God, humbled himself, bowed low, and adored the most blessed Pope John.

4 Eodem tempore beatus Iohannes papa cum senatores suprascriptos cum grandem fletum rogauerunt Iustinum Augustum ut legatio acceptabilis esset in conspectu eius. Qui uero papa Iohannes uel senatores uiri religiosi omnia meruerunt et liberata est Italia a rege Theodorico heretico. Iustinus imperator tamen gaudio repletus est quia meruit temporibus suis uicarium beati Petri apostoli uidere in regno suo : de cuius manibus cum gloria coronatus est Iustinus Augustus.

4 At the same time the blessed Pope John, with the above-written senators, with great weeping, begged Justin Augustus that the legation might be acceptable in his sight. And indeed Pope John and the senators, religious men, obtained everything, and Italy was freed from the heretical king Theodoric. Justin the emperor, however, was filled with joy because he merited in his own times to see the vicar of the blessed apostle Peter in his kingdom: from whose hands, with glory, Justin Augustus was crowned.

5 Eodem tempore cum hii suprascripti, id est papa Iohannes cum senatores, Theodorum excons., Inportunum excons., Agapitum ex cons. et Agapitum patricium defuncto Thessalonica et suprascriptos positos Constantinopolim, Theodoricus rex hereticus tenuit duos senatores praeclaros et exconsules, Symmachum et Boetium, et occidit interficiens gladio. 6 Eodem tempore reuertentes Iohannes uenerabilis papa et senatores cum gloria, dum omnia obtinuissent a Iustino Augusto, rex Theodoricus hereticus cum grande dolo et odio suscepit eos, id est papam Iohannem et senatores, quos etiam gladio uoluit interficere ; sed metuens indignationem Iustini Augusti, quos tamen in custodia omnes adflictos cremauit, ita ut beatissimus Iohannes, episcopus primae sedis, papa, in custodia adflictus deficiens moreretur.

5 At the same time, when these aforementioned—that is, Pope John with the senators, Theodore, ex-consul, Inportunus, ex-consul, Agapitus, ex-consul, and Agapitus the patrician—Agapitus the patrician having died at Thessalonica, and the aforesaid having been set at Constantinople, Theodoric the heretic king held two most renowned senators and ex-consuls, Symmachus and Boethius, and killed them, slaying with the sword. 6 At the same time, returning, John the venerable pope and the senators with glory, while they had obtained everything from Justin Augustus, King Theodoric the heretic received them with great grief and hatred, that is, Pope John and the senators, whom he also wished to kill with the sword; but fearing the indignation of Justin Augustus, he nevertheless burned them all, afflicted, in custody, such that the most blessed John, bishop of the first see, the pope, afflicted in custody, failing, died.

Qui tamen defunctus est Rauennae in custodia, XV kal. Iunias, martyr. Post hoc factum, notu Dei omnipotentis, XCVIII die postquam defunctus est beatissimus Iohannes in custodia, Theodoricus rex hereticus subito interiit et mortuus est.

Who nevertheless died at Ravenna in custody, on the 15 Kalends of June, a martyr. After this was done, by the nod of Almighty God, on the 98th day after the most blessed John died in custody, Theodoric, the heretical king, suddenly perished and died.

7 Hic papa Iohannes refecit cymiterium beatorum martyrum Nerei et Achillei, uia Ardiatina ; item renouauit cymiterium sanctorum Felicis et Audacti ; item renouauit cymiterium Priscillae. Eodem tempore positum est ornatum super confessionem beati Pauli apostoli, de gemmis prasinis et yachintis. Item huius temporibus Iustinus imperator optulit :
