To the Carthaginian Clergy, About the
Letters Sent to Rome, and Received Thence.
Argument.—The Carthaginian Clergy are Requested to Take Care that
the Letters of the Roman Clergy and Cyprian’s Answer are
Communicated.
Cyprian to the presbyters and deacons, his
brethren, greeting. That you, my beloved brethren, might know
what letters I have sent to the clergy acting2354
at Rome, and what they have replied to
me, and, moreover, what Moyses and Maximus, the presbyters, and Rufinus
and Nicostratus, the deacons, and the rest of the confessors that with
them are kept in prison, replied likewise to my letters, I have sent
you copies to read. Do you take care, with as much diligence as
you can, that what I have written, and what they have replied, be made
known to our brethren. And, moreover, if any bishops from foreign
places,2355
my colleagues,
or presbyters, or deacons, should be present, or should arrive among
you, let them hear all these matters from you; and if they wish to
transcribe copies of the letters and to take them to their own people,
let them have the opportunity of transcribing them; although I have,
moreover, bidden Saturus the reader, our brother, to give liberty of
copying them to any individuals who wish it; so that, in ordering, for
the present, the condition of the Church in any manner, an agreement,
one and faithful, may be observed by all. But about the other
matters which were to be dealt with, as I have also written to several
of my colleagues, we will more fully consider them in a common council,
when, by the Lord’s permission, we shall begin to assemble into
one place. I bid you, brethren, beloved and longed-for, ever
heartily farewell. Salute the brotherhood. Fare ye
well.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
