XXI. Александр сын Мамиеи (царств. 13 лет)

Alexander won a famous victory over King Xerxes of Persia and was such a strict adherent of military discipline that he completely abolished some restless legions. The XVI Bishop of the Roman Church, Urban, who reigned for 9 years, is ordained. The legal adviser Ulpian, the assessor Alexandra, is famous. The Alexander Baths were built in Rome. Famous as writers: Geminus, presbyter of Antioch, Hippolytus and Cyril, bishop of Bostra in Arabia. XI Bishop Sebennus 21 is appointed to Antioch. Origen is famous in Alexandria. The 12th Bishop of the Alexandrian Church, Iraklos, who ruled for 16 years, is ordained. Alexander was unusually devoted to his mother Mammae, and for this he was loved by everyone. Origen moves from Alexandria to Caesarea Palestine. The bishopric of the Roman Church was accepted by ΧVΙΙ Bishop Pontian, who ruled for 5 years. Alexander is killed in Mainz during a military conspiracy. We translate the chronicle of Eusebius according to Jerome’s account, starting only from the Nativity of Christ, bearing in mind theological and church-historical interest, which the previous part of the chronicle does not represent. On the same basis, we consider it possible to omit in the translation the chronological indication of the years from Abraham, according to the Olympiads and according to the years of the reign of the kings of Judah (before the destruction of Jerusalem) and limit ourselves to Christian chronology. Asterisks indicate testimony of dubious authenticity that is found in all lists of the chronicle according to the presentation of the bl. Jerome. Note Editorials. Bl. Jerome borrows the name of the Persian king from Eutropius. His real name was Arbiter. In some lists VM. Zebennus is worth Zenus; Eusebius in the history of Σεβίνος. You might be interested in:
