In this year the relics of the holy prophet, forerunner and baptist John were transferred in Alexandria on the sixth day before the Kalends of July, in the month of Payni, on the 2nd. 5. 5. 2. 15. 33. 12. 2. In this year the most glorious Anatolius was burned in Alexandria.And the emperor Arcadius created his own number in Constantinople, which he called the Arcadiaci. 6. 6. 3. 16. 34. 13. 3. In this year Nectarius, the bishop of Constantinople, fell asleep. But Theophilus, the bishop of Alexandria, being present, was eager to prevent the election of John Chrysostom, attesting that a certain Isidore, his own presbyter who had served him when Theodosius was at war with Maximus the tyrant, was bishop of the imperial city, having been entrusted by him with two letters and gifts. But the emperor and the whole city approved that John, who had been summoned by him from Antioch for this purpose, be ordained. And John was of the most illustrious of Antioch, his father being Secundus and his mother Anthusa. This man, being exceedingly learned mostly through divine grace, was also admired by the most clever of the Greek sophists; whence Libanius, upon his death, when asked by his students who then would succeed his school after him, said: "I would have said John, if the Christians had not stolen him from us." Chrysostom, however, was taught the divine scriptures by a certain Carterius, the head of a monastery, and the encyclical studies by the aforementioned Libanius. 76 In the same year a son, Theodosius the Younger, was born to the emperor Arcadius by Eudoxia the Augusta, whom John Chrysostom received in baptism.

And having taken oaths from Arcadius and given them in the church of Saint Euphemia in Chalcedon, he transgressed these and, having done more evils, he entered the city, proceeding to plunder and other outrages. This man, having gone out to the Chersonese of Thrace, built rafts, so that by crossing to Asia he might subdue the eastern cities. There, when a fierce war broke out on both land and sea, he was destroyed with his army. 9. 9. 6. 3. 2. 16. 6. In this year Honorius stirred up disturbances and seditions in Rome. For, having been moved against the citizens over some small matters and not restraining his anger, he relocated to Ravenna, a coastal city of Italy. And sending a certain one of his chief ministers, a barbarian by race, a Gaul, with a multitude of troops, he ordered him to plunder and grieve those who had sinned against him; by whom Rome, being besieged, was almost completely destroyed. And Alaric entrusted himself to the senators of the city and taking all the wealth of the palace and the paternal sister of Honorius, Placidia, who was a young maiden, he departed to his own nation in the Gauls. But a certain Constantius, being a count with Alaric, being entrusted with the maiden Placidia, took her and fleeing, brought her to the emperor Honorius. And the emperor, having welcomed Constantius, made him a senator. And after a short time he gave 77 the maiden to him for marriage and proclaimed him emperor; by whom he had a son, whom
