XXXII. Кар с Карином и Нумерианом (царств. 2 года)

Carus, a native of Norbona, when, having devastated the entire country of the Parthians, took the most important cities of the enemies, Chochem and Ctesiphon, and set up a camp on the Tigris, he died struck by lightning. Numerian, when, due to an eye disease, was carried on a stretcher, was killed by the treachery of his father-in-law Aper and the crime was recognized only a few days later by the smell of the corpse. Karin, having been defeated in battle, was killed in Marga. 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:
