having been waged against Gizeric, the Roman army was defeated; and thus Boniface, having come to Rome with Aspar, dispelled the suspicion, proving the truth; and Africa came under the Vandals. At that time Marcian also, being a soldier and serving Aspar, was captured alive by Gizeric, he who reigned after this. 32. 5. 6. 5. 2. 25. 17. In this year the holy martyr Euphemia was translated in Alexandria on the 6th day before the Kalends of October. 96 33. 6. 7. 6. 3. 26. 18. In this year the Cantharus bath in Alexandria was completed. And some monks, having come to Constantinople, were troubling the emperor concerning Theodore, the former bishop of Mopsuestia, after his death, slandering him as a heretic. But the emperor entrusted to Proclus to write to the bishops of the east to make an inquiry and, if they were telling the truth, to anathematize Theodore. But John of Antioch wrote back to Proclus with his own synod and to the emperor, testifying to the orthodoxy of Theodore. Bishop of Antioch, Domnus, for 8 years. 34. 7. 8. 7. 4. 27. 1.

In this year Theodosius the emperor made Antiochus the praepositus and patrician, who was also his tutor, a priest, confiscating also his house as one who was getting above the emperor and looking down on him.

Bishop of Jerusalem, Juvenal, for 38 years. 7. Bishop of Alexandria, Cyril, for 32 years. 30. Bishop of Antioch, Domnus, for 8 years. 4. In this year Cyrus, the prefect of the city and of the praetorians, a most wise and capable man who both built the walls of the 97 city and renewed all of Constantinople, about whom the Byzantines shouted at the Hippodrome while the emperor was seated and listening. "Constantine built it, Cyrus renewed it." And the emperor became angry that they said these things about him, and on the pretext that he was a pagan sympathizer he deposed him from his office and confiscated his property. But he, taking refuge in the church, also became a priest. But the emperor, having compassion on him, ordered him to become bishop of Smyrna in Asia. But the Smyrneans, when he arrived before the holy Theophany, suspecting him as a pagan sympathizer, wanted to kill him. But when he entered the church and was urged to speak to the people, he said: "Men and brothers, let the birth of our God and Savior Jesus Christ be honored in silence, because by hearing alone was the Word of God conceived in the holy virgin; to him be the glory for ever, amen." And the people rejoiced, and acclaimed him, and he served them piously as bishop. 38. 11. 4. 11. 8. 31. 5. In this year another John, called the Vandal, usurped power against Valentinian in Rome; and Theodosius having sent a force with Aspar and Ardaburius the generals, and war having been waged, John was defeated and having received a pledge, surrendered himself alive. And they bring him to the emperor Theodosius, and prepare for him to be deemed worthy of honor. But Chrysaphius, being a eunuch and holding power in the palace, treacherously killed him; but not long after, justice pursued this man. 39. 12. 5. 12. 9. 32. 6. In this year Cyril of Alexandria and Proclus of Constantinople piously fell asleep. And Proclus indeed, Flavian the presbyter and keeper of the sacred vessels of the church of Constantinople
