An Index of the months
of each year, and of the days, and of the Indictions, and of the
Consulates, and of the Governors in Alexandria, and of all the Epacts,
and of those [days] which are named ‘of the Gods3823
| 3823 The
‘Gods’ correspond to the Concurrentes,’ i.e. to the
days of the week upon which Mar. 24 occurs in the year in question.
(See Table, and Ideler, 2. 261), and so to the ‘Sunday
letters,’ which follow the ‘gods’ in inverse order,
‘a’ corresponding to years when there were 6
‘gods,’ b to 5, &c., f to 1, g to 7. | ,’ and the reason [any Letter] was not
sent, and the returns from exile3824

meaning of these words is doubtful. Larslow renders them ‘the
answers from abroad.’ | —from the
Festal Letters of Pope Athanasius.
The Festal Letters of Athanasius, Bishop of
Alexandria, which he sent year by year, to the several cities and all
the provinces subject to him; that is, from Pentapolis, and on to
Libya, Ammoniaca, the greater and the lesser Oasis, Egypt, and
Augustamnica, with the Heptanomis of3825
the upper and
middle Thebais; [commencing] from the 44th3826
| 3826 i.e.
the year beginning Aug. 30, 327 (328 being leap-year). The
‘Diocletian’ era, or era ‘of the martyrs,’ was
that used by the Egyptian Christians. It is incorrectly described in
D.C.A. s.v. Era; see Ideler, ut

Alexander, his predecessor, having departed this life on xxii

Paschal festival on xiv Pauni, Indict. i, Januarius and Justus being
Consuls, the governor Zenius of Italy being the Præfect of Egypt,
Epact xxv; Gods, i.
I. (Aug. 29, 328, to Aug. 28, a.d. 329.) In this year, Easter-day was on xi Pharmuthi;
viii. Id. Ap.; xxii Moon; Coss. Constantinus Aug. viii, Constantinus
Cæs. IV; the same governor Zenius being Præfect of Egypt;
Indict. ii; Epact vi; Gods, ii. This was the first Letter he [Athan.]
sent; for he was ordained Bishop in the preceding year after the
Paschal feast, Alexander, as is known, having despatched one for that
year, before he was released from life. This was in the 45th of the
Diocletian era.
II. (329–330.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xxiv Pharmuthi; xiii Kal. Mai; xv Moon; Coss. Gallicianus,
Symmachus; the governor Magninianus the Cappadocian being Præfect
of Egypt; Indict. iii; Epact xvii; Gods, iii. In this year he went
through the Thebais.
III. (330–331.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xvi Pharmuthi; xviii Moon; iii Id. Ap.; Coss. Annius Bassus,
Ablavius; the governor Hyginus3829
| 3829 The
heading to Ep. 3 gives Florentius. | of Italy,
Præfect of Egypt; Epact xxviii; Indict. iv. He sent this Letter
while journeying on his return from the Imperial Court. For in this
year he went to the Imperial Court to the Emperor Constantine the
Great, having been summoned before him, on account of an accusation his
enemies made, that he had been appointed when too young. He appeared,
was thought worthy of favour and honour, and returned3830
| 3830 This
ought to have been placed under iv; but see p. 512, note 7. | when the fast was half finished.
IV. (331–332.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xvii3831
Pharmuthi; xx Moon; iv Non. Apr.;
Epact ix; Gods, vi; Coss. Pacatianus, Hilarianus; the same governor
Hyginus, Præfect of Egypt; Indict. v. In this year he went through
Pentapolis, and was in Ammoniaca.
V. (332–333.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xx Pharmuthi; xv Moon; xvii Kal. Mai; Epact xx; Gods, vii; Coss.
Dalmatius, Zenophilus; the governor Paternus3832

VI. (333–334.) In this year, Easter-day was

i; Coss. Optatus, Paulinus; the same governor Paternus3833
| 3833 The
headings of Letters 6, 7, give Philagrius. | Præfect of Egypt. In this year he went
through the lower country. In it he was summoned to a Synod, his
enemies having previously devised mischief against him in Cæsarea
of Palestine; but becoming aware of the conspiracy, he excused himself
from attending.
VII. (334–335.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xiv3834

Præfect of Egypt.
VIII. (335–336.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xxiii Pharmuthi, xx Moon; xiv Kal. Mai; Indict. ix; Epact xxiii;
Gods, iv; Coss. Nepotianus, Facundus; the governor Philagrius, the
Cappadocian, Præfect of Egypt. In this year he went to that Synod
of his enemies which was assembled at Tyre. Now he journeyed from this
place on xvii Epiphi3836
, but when a
discovery was made of the plot against him, he removed thence and fled
in an open boat to Constantinople. Arriving there on ii Athyr3837
, after eight days he presented himself
before the Emperor Constantine, and spoke plainly. But his enemies, by
various secret devices, influenced the Emperor, who suddenly condemned
him to exile, and he set out on the tenth of Athyr3838

due to Sievers). | to Gaul, to Constans Cæsar, the son of
Augustus. On this account he wrote no Festal Letter.
IX. (336–7.) In this year, Easter-day was
on viii Pharmuthi; xvi Moon; iv3839
Non. Ap.;
Indict. x; Epact iv; Gods, v; Coss. Felicianus, Titianus; the governor
Philagrius, the Cappadocian, Præfect of Egypt. He was in Treviri
of Gaul, and on this account was unable to write a Festal Letter.

this year, Constantine having died on xxvii Pachon3842
, Athanasius, now liberated, returned from
Gaul triumphantly on xxvii3843
Athyr. In this
year, too, there were many events. Antony, the great leader, came to
Alexandria, and though he remained there only two days, shewed himself
wonderful in many things, and healed many. He went away on the third of
Messori.3844
| 3844 July
27, 338, supr. p. 214. |
XI. (338–9.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xx Pharmuthi; xx Moon; xvii Kal. Mai; Epact xxvi; Gods, vii; Indict.
xii; Coss. Constantius II, Constans I3845
| 3845 The
Syriac has erroneously Constantius I., Constans II. | ;
the governor Philagrius, the Cappadocian, Præfect of Egypt. In
this year, again, there were many tumults. On the xxii Phamenoth3846
he was pursued in the night, and the next
day he fled from the Church of Theonas, after he had baptized many.
Then, four days after, Gregorius the Cappadocian entered the city as
Bishop.
XII. (339–340.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xiv3847
| 3847 Read
iv. as above, No. vii. | Pharmuthi; xv Moon; iii Kal. Ap.;
Epact vii; Gods, ii; Indict. xiii; Coss. Acyndinus, Proclus; the same
governor Philagrius, Præfect of Egypt. Gregorius continued his
acts of violence, and therefore [Ath.] wrote no Festal Letter. The
Arians proclaimed [Easter] on xxvii Phamenoth, and were much ridiculed
on account of this error. Then altering it in the middle of the fast,
they kept it with us on iv3848
| 3848 Read
iv. as above, No. vii. | Pharmuthi, as
above. He [Athanasius] gave notice of it to the presbyters of
Alexandria in a short note, not being able to send a letter as usual,
on account of his flight and the treachery.
XIII. (340–341.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xxiv Pharmuthi; xvi Moon; xiii. Kal. Mai; Epact xviii; Gods, iii; Indict. xiv; Coss.
Marcellinus, Probinus; the governor Longinus, of Nicæa,
Præfect of Egypt. Augustamnica was separated.3849
| 3849 i.e.
‘made a separate province.’ This had been known (Gothofr.
in Cod. Th. xii. i. 34) to fall between 325 and 342; and
Augustamnica is not mentioned as a province in 338–9,
supr. p. 101. | On account of Gregorius continuing in the
city, and exercising violence, although this illness commenced, the
Pope did not write a Festal Letter even this time3850
| 3850 This
and the similar notice at the end of xiv are incorrect. The Index may
have been written for a collection which lacked Letters 13,
14. | .
XIV. (341–2.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xvi Pharmuthi; xx3851
| 3851 The
Syriac has xvi, which is an error. | Moon; iii Id. Ap.;
Epact xxix; Gods, iv; Indict. xv; Coss. Constantius III, Constans II;
the governor Longinus of Nicæa, Præfect of Egypt. Because
Gregorius was in the city, [though] severely ill, the Pope was unable
to send [any Letter].
XV. (342–3.) In this year, Easter-day was
on i Pharmuthi; xv Moon; vi Kal. Ap.; Epact xi; Gods, v; Indict. i;
Coss. Placidus, Romulus; the same governor Longinus, of Nicæa,
Præfect of Egypt. In this year the Synod of Sardica was held3852
| 3852 The
summons for the Council was issued ‘in this year,’ i.e.
before August, 343, but the proceedings fall in the autumn and winter,
i.e. in the next Egyptian year, and the sequel (about Ursac. and
Valens) refers to what took place about 347. | ; and when the Arians had arrived, they
returned to Philippopolis, for Philagrius gave them this advice there.
In truth, they were blamed everywhere, and were even anathematised by
the Church of Rome, and having written a recantation to Pope
Athanasius, Ursacius and Valens were put to shame. There was an
agreement made at Sardica respecting Easter, and a decree was issued to
be binding for fifty years, which the Romans and Alexandrians
everywhere announced in the usual manner. Again he [Athan.] wrote a
Festal Letter.
XVI. (343–4.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xx Pharmuthi; xix Moon; xvii Kal. Mai; Epact xxi; Gods, vi[i], Coss.
Leontius, Sallustius; the governor Palladius, of Italy, Præfect of
Egypt; Indict. ii. Being at Naissus on his return from the Synod, he
there celebrated Easter3853
| 3853 Easter, i.e. Apr. 15, 344, at Nish, or Nissa, in
Servia. | . Of this Easter-day
he gave notice in few words to the presbyters of Alexandria, but he was
unable to do so to the country.
XVII. (344–5.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xii Pharmuthi; xviii Moon; vii. Id. Ap.; Epact ii; Gods, i; Indict.
iii; Coss. Amantius, Albinus; the governor Nestorius of Gaza,
Præfect of Egypt. Having travelled to Aquileia, he kept Easter
there. Of this Easter-day, he gave notice in few words to the
presbyters of Alexandria, but not to the country.
XVIII. (345–6.) In this year, Easter-day
was on iv Pharmuthi; xxi3854
| 3854 The
Syriac in this place has xxiv. But we find xxi in the heading to the
Letter itself. | Moon; iii Kal. Ap.;
Epact xiv; Gods, ii; Indict. iv; Coss. Constantius3855
| 3855 The
Syriac has Constantinus. | Aug. IV, Constans Aug. III; the same
governor Nestorius of Gaza, Præfect of Egypt. Gregorius having
died on the second of Epiphi3856
| 3856 June
26 of the previous year (345). | , he returned from
Rome and Italy, and entered the city and the Church. Moreover he was
thought worthy of a grand reception, for on the xxiv Paophi3857
, the people and all those in authority met
him a hundred miles distant, and he continued in honour. He had already
sent the Festal Letter for this year, in few words, to the
presbyters.
XIX. (346–7.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xvii Pharmuthi xv. Moon; Prid. Id. Apr.; Epact xxv; Gods, iii;
Indict. v; Coss. Rufinus, Eusebius; the same governor Nestorius of
Gaza, Præfect of Egypt. He wrote this Letter while residing here
in Alexandria, giving notice of some things which he had not been able
to do before.
XX. (347–8.) In this year, Easter-day was
on vii Pharmuthi; xviii Moon; iii Non. Ap.; Epact vi; Gods, v3858
Indict. vi; Coss. Philippus, Salia; the same
governor Nestorius of Gaza, Præfect of Egypt. This Letter also he
sent while residing in Alexandria.
XXI. (348–9.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xxx Phamenoth;…xix Moon,…vii Kal. Ap.; Epact xvii; Gods,
vi; Indict. vii. But because the Romans refused, for they said they
held a tradition from the Apostle Peter not to pass the twenty-sixth
day of Pharmuthi, nor..the thirtieth of Phamenoth, xxi
Moon,………………3859
| 3859 The
text is imperfect and apparently very corrupt; ‘xix Moon’
fits Pharm. 28 (Apr. 23), which was the true Easter, and probably
observed at Alexandria, while the Romans, refusing to go beyond Apr.
21, kept Easter on Pham. 30 (Mar. 26), on which day the Moon was really
xxi days old. See Table D, and Letter 18. Letter 21 is
lost. | ,
vii Kal. Ap.; Coss. Limenius, Catullinus; the same governor Nestorius
of Gaza, Præfect of Egypt. He sent this also while residing in
Alexandria.
XXII. (349–50.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xiii Pharmuthi; xix Moon, the second hour; vi Id. Ap.; Epact
xxviii; Gods, vii; Indict. viii; Coss. Sergius, Nigrianus; the same
governor Nestorius of Gaza, Præfect of Egypt. In this year,
Constans was slain by Magnentius, and Constantius held the empire
alone; then he wrote to the Pope [Athan.], telling him to fear nothing
because of the death of Constans, but to confide in him as he had done
in Constans while living.
XXIII. (350–1.) In this year, Easter day
was on v Pharmuthi; Moon xviii; Prid. Kal. Ap.; Epact ix; Gods, i;
Indict. ix; the Consulship after that of Sergius and Nigrianus; the
same governor Nestorius of Gaza, again Præfect of Egypt.
XXIV. (351–2.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xxiv Pharmuthi; xviii Moon; xiii Kal. Mai, Epact xx; Gods, iii;
Indict. x, Coss. Constantius Aug. V, Constantius Cæsar I; the same
governor Nestorius of Gaza, Præfect of Egypt. Gallus was
proclaimed Cæsar3860
| 3860 In
the previous year, Mar. 15, 351. | , and his name
changed into Constantius.
XXV. (352–3.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xvi Pharmuthi; xxi Moon; iii Id. Ap.; Epact i; Gods, iv; Indict. xi;
Coss. Constantius Aug. VI, Constantius Cæsar II; the governor
Sebastianus of Thrace, præfect of Egypt. In this year, Serapion3861
, Bishop of Thmuis, and Triadelphus of
Nicion, and the presbyters Petrus and Astricius, with others, were sent
to the emperor Constantius, through fear of mischief from the Arians.
They returned, having effected nothing. In this year, Montanus,
Silentiarius of the Palace, [was sent]…against [the]3862
Bishop, but, a tumult having been excited,
he retired, having failed to effect anything.
XXVI. (353–4.) In this year, Easter-day was
on i3863
Pharmuthi; xvii Moon; vi Kal. Ap.; Epact
xii; Gods, v; Indict. xii; Coss. Constantius Aug. VII, Constantius
Cæsar III.; the same governor Sebastianus of Thrace, Præfect
of Egypt.
XXVII. (354–5.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xxi Pharmuthi; xviii Moon; xvi Kal. Mai; Epact xxiii; Gods, vi;
Indict. xiii; Coss. Arbetion, Lollianus; the governor Maximus the Elder
of Nicæa, Prefect of Egypt. In this year, Diogenes, the Secretary
of the Emperor, entered with the design of seizing the Bishop. But he,
too, having raged in vain, went away quietly.
XXVIII. (355–6.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xii Pharmuthi; xvii Moon; vii Id. Ap.; Epact iv; Gods, i;
Indict. xiv, Coss. Constantius Aug. VIII, Julianus Cæsar I; the
same governor Maximus the Elder of
Nicæa, Præfect of Egypt, who was succeeded by Cataphronius of
Byblus. In this year, Syrianus Dux, having excited a tumult in the
Church on the thirteenth of Mechir, on the fourteenth3864
at night entered Theonas with his soldiers;
but he was unable to capture [Athanasius], for he escaped in a
miraculous manner.
XXIX (356–7.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xxvii Phamenoth; xvii Moon; x Kal. Ap., Epact xv; Gods, ii; Indict.
xv; Coss. Constantius Aug. IX, Julianus Cæsar II; the same
governor Cataphronius, of Byblus, Præfect of Egypt, to whom
succeeded Parnassius. Then Georgius entered on the thirtieth of Mechir,
and acted with excessive violence. But Athanasius, the Bishop, had
fled, and was sought for in the city with much oppression, many being
in danger on this account. Therefore no Festal Letter was written3865
| 3865 But
see Letter 29, note 1. | .
XXX. (357–8.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xvii Pharmuthi; Prid. Id. Ap.; xvii Moon; Epact xxvi; Gods, iii;
Indict. i; Coss. Tatianus, Cerealis; the governor Parius of Corinth,
Præfect of Egypt. Athanasius, the Bishop, lay concealed in the
city of Alexandria. But Georgius left on the fifth of Paophi3866
being driven away by the multitude. On this
account, neither this year was the Pope able to send a Festal
Letter.
XXXI. (358–9.) In this year, Easter-day was
on ix3867
Pharmuthi; Prid. Non. Ap.; xx Moon; Epact
vii; Gods, iv; Indict. ii; Coss. Eusebius, Hypatius; the same governor
Parius, who was succeeded by Italicianus of Italy for three months;
after him Faustinus, of Chalcedon. Neither this year did the Pope write
[any Letter].
XXXII. (359–60.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xxviii Pharmuthi; ix Kal. Mai; xxi Moon; Epact xviii; Gods, vi;
Indict. iii; Coss. Constantius Aug. X, Julianus Cæsar III; the
governor Faustinus, of Chalcedon, Præfect of Egypt. This
Præfect and Artemius Dux, having entered a private house and a
small cell, in search of Athanasius the Bishop, bitterly tortured
Eudæmonis, a perpetual virgin. On this account no [Letter] was
written this year.
XXXIII. (360–1.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xiii Pharmuthi, vi Id. Ap.; xvii Moon; Epact xxix; Gods, vii;
Indict. iv; Coss. Taurus, Florentius; the same governor Faustinus3868
| 3868 Or
Pausanias. This name is written vaguely in the Syriac, varying in all
the three places in which it occurs. | , Præfect of Egypt, who was succeeded by
Gerontius the Armenian. He was unable to send [a Letter]. In this year,
Constantius died3869
, and Julianus
holding the empire alone, there was a cessation of the persecution
against the Orthodox. For commands were issued everywhere from the
emperor Julianus, that the Orthodox ecclesiastics who had been
persecuted in the time of Constantius should be let alone.
XXXIV. (361–2.) In this year, Easter-day
was on v3870
Pharmuthi; Prid. Kal. Ap.; xxv Moon;
Epact x; Gods, i; Indict. v; Coss. Mamertinus, Nevitta; the same
governor Gerontius, who was succeeded by Olympus of Tarsus. In this
year, in Mechir, Athanasius the Bishop returned to the Church, after
his flight, by the command of Julianus Augustus, who pardoned all the
Bishops and Clergy in exile, as was before said. This year, then, he
wrote [a Letter].
XXXV. (362–3.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xxv Pharmuthi; xii Kal. Mai; xx Moon; Epact xxi; Gods, ii; Indict.
vi; Coss. Julianus Augustus IV, Sallustius; the same governor Olympus,
Præfect of Egypt. Pythiodorus Trico of Thebes, a Philosopher,
brought a decree of Julianus on the twenty-seventh of Paophi, and set
it in action against the Bishop first, and uttered many threats. So he
[Athan.] left the city at once, and went up to the Thebais. And when
after eight months Julianus died, and his death was announced,
Athanasius returned secretly by night to Alexandria. Then on the eighth
of Thoth, he embarked3871
| 3871 Prolegg. ch. v. §3, h. | at the Eastern
Hierapolis, and met the emperor Jovian, by whom he was dismissed with
honour. He sent this festal Letter to all the country, while being
driven by persecution from Memphis to the Thebais, and it was delivered
as usual.
XXXVI. (363–4). In this year, Easter-day
was on ix Pharmuthi; Prid. Non. Ap.; xvi Moon; Epact iii; Gods, iv;
Indict. vii; Coss. Jovianus Aug., Varronianus; the governor Aerius, of
Damascus, Præfect; who was succeeded by Maximus of Rapheotis, and
he again by Flavianus the Illyrian. In this year, the Pope returned to
Alexandria and the Church on the twenty-fifth of Mechir. He sent the
Festal Letter, according to custom, from Antioch to all the Bishops in
all the province.
XXXVII. (364–5.) In this year, Easter-day
was on i Pharmuthi; v[i] Kal. Ap.; xix Moon; Epact xiv; Gods, v;
Indict. viii; Coss. Valentinianus Aug. I, Valens Aug.; the same
Flavianus, the Illyrian, being governor. We received the Cæsareum;
but again, the Pope being persecuted3872
with
accusations, withdrew3873
to the garden of
the new river. But a few days3874
after, Barasides,
the notary, came to him with the Præfect and obtained an entrance
for him into the Church. Then, an earthquake happening on the
twenty-seventh of Epiphi3875
| 3875 July
21, 365; so also Chron. Pasch. and Amm. Marc. xxvi. 10,
specially mentioning Alexandria. | , the sea returned
from the East, and destroyed many persons, and much damage was
caused.
XXXVIII. (365–6.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xxi Pharmuthi; xvi Kal. Mai; xx Moon; Epact xxv; Gods, vi;
Indict. ix; in the first year of the Consulship of Gratianus, the son
of Augustus, and Daglaiphus; the same governor Flavianus, Præfect.
On the twenty-seventh of Epiphi, the heathen made an attack, and the
Cæsareum was burnt and consequently many of the citizens suffered
great distress, while the authors of the calamity were condemned and
exiled. After this, Proclianus the Macedonian, became chief.
XXXIX. (366–7.) In this year, Easter-day
was on vi3876
Pharmuthi; Kal. Ap.; xvi Moon; Epact
vi; Gods, vii; Indict. x; Coss. Lupicinus, Jovinus; the same Proclianus
being governor, who was succeeded by Tatianus of Lycia. In this year,
when Lucius had attempted an entrance on the twenty-sixth of Thoth3877
| 3877 Sep.
24, 367; cf. Hist. Aceph. | , and lay concealed by night in a house on
the side of the enclosure of the Church; and when Tatianus the
Præfect and Trajanus Dux brought him out, he left the city, and
was rescued in a wonderful manner, while the multitude sought to kill
him. In this year he [Ath.] wrote, forming a Canon of the Holy
Scriptures.
XL. (367–8.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xxv Pharmuthi; xii Kal. Mai; xvi Moon; Epact xvii; Gods, ii; Indict.
xi; Coss. Valentinianus Aug. II, Valens Aug. II; the same governor
Tatianus, Præfect. He [Athan.] began to build anew the
Cæsareum, on the 6th of Pachon, having been honoured with an
imperial command by Trajanus Dux. He also discovered the incendiaries,
and immediately cleared away the rubbish of the burnt ruins, and
restored the edifice in the month Pachon.
XLI. (368–9.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xvii3878
Pharmuthi; Prid. Id. Ap.; xv Moon;
Epact xxviii; Gods, iii; Indict.
xii; Coss. Valentinianus (son of Augustus) I, Victor; the same Tatianus
being governor. The Pope began to build that Church in Mendidium which
bears his name, on the twenty-fifth3879
of the month
Thoth, at the beginning of the eighty-fifth year of the Diocletian
Era.
XLII. (369–70.) In this year, Easter-day
was on ii Pharmuthi; v3880
Kal. Ap.; xv Moon;
Epact ix; Gods, iv; Indict. xiii; Coss. Valentinianus Aug. III, Valens
Aug. III; the same Tatianus being governor, who was succeeded by
Olympius Palladius, of Samosata. The Pope finished the Church, called
after his name, at the close of the eighty-sixth year of the Diocletian
Era; in which also he celebrated the dedication, on the fourteenth3881
of Mesori.
XLIII. (370–1.) In this year, Easter-day
was on xxii Pharmuthi; xv Kal. Mai; xvi Moon; Epact xx; Gods, v;
Indict. xiv; Coss. Gratianus Aug. II, Probus; the same Palladius being
governor; who was succeeded as Præfect of Egypt by Ælius
Palladius, of Palestine, who was called Cyrus.
XLIV. (371–2.) In this year, Easter-day was
on xiii Pharmuthi; vi Id. Ap.; xix Moon; Epact i; Gods, vii3882
| 3882 The
Syr. has ‘and not one,’ which must be incorrect. | , Indict. xv; Coss. Modestus, Arintheus; the
same Ælius Palladius the governor, called Cyrus, Præfect of
Egypt.
XLV. (372–3.) In this year, Easter-day was
on v Pharmuthi; Prid. Kal. Ap.; xxi Moon; Epact xii; Gods, i; Indict.
i; Coss. Valentinianus IV, Valens IV; the same governor Ælius
Palladius, Præfect of Egypt. At the close of this year, on the
seventh of Pachon3883
, he [Athan.]
departed this life in a wonderful manner.
