XXVI Галл и Волузиан сын Галла (царствовали 2 года и 4·месяца)

After the glorious death of Fabian, the bishopric of the Roman Church was assumed by Cornelius, who ruled for two years, and was also crowned with martyrdom. There are eight letters to him from Cyprian. The contagious disease swept through many provinces around the world, and especially Alexandria and Egypt, as Dionysius writes and as Cyprian’s book “on mortality” testifies. Novatus, the presbyter of Cyprian, having arrived in Rome, wins Novatian and other confessors to his side due to the fact that Cornelius accepted repentant apostates. The XII Bishop Demetrian is appointed to Antioch. The Roman Church was ruled by Bishop Lucius for 8 months, followed by XXII Stephen for 3 years. There are letters from Cyprian to both. When Gallus and Volusianus set out from Rome against Aemilianus, who had raised an indignation in Mysia, they were killed in the Forum Flaminii, or, as others believe, in the Interamna. Aemilian, in the third month of the captured tyranny, was killed. 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. You might be interested in:
