Notes

1 DB: Sic—the year number AD 212 is repeated. Further along this line, a hole in the parchment has been patched before the text-block was ruled.
In the 203rd year ¶Perpetua and Felicity were consigned to the animals in a stronghold at Carthage in Africa, ¶for Christ.

In the 204th year

In the 205th year

In the 206th year

In the 207th year

In the 208th year, St Victor, pope, passed over to the Lord by martyrdom; blessed Zephyrinus succeeded him, ruling the Church for 7 years 6 months and ten days.
In the 209th year

In the 210th year, after Severus was overcome by the tranquillity of death when he had reigned 17 years, Antoninus surnamed Caracalla, his son, succeeds, who reigned 7 years.

In the 211th year
¶When Alexander bishop of Cappadocia came to Jerusalem, [moved] by a longing for the holy sites, Narcissus, bishop of the same city, a very old man, came to him,1 and ordained him bishop there, after being advised by the Lord through a vision that it ought to be so. Tertullian Afer, son of the centurion of the proconsul, is commemorated by the message of all churches.
In the 212th year

In the 215th year

In the 216th year

In the 217th year Antoninus Caracalla died; Macrinus succeeding him, reigned for one year. Abgar,3 a holy man—as the African4 asserted—reigned in Edessa. Macrinus is killed in a military revolt at Archelais5 with his son Diadumenus,6 with whom he seized the empire. The blessed Pope Zephyrinus passed away to the Lord; the blessed Callixtus succeeded him, administering the pontificate for 6 years, 5 months and 2 ¶days.
In the 218th year Marcus Aurelius Antoninus succeeded Macrinus, going on to reign for 4 years.

In the 219th year ¶In Palestine, the city of Naples7—which was first called Emmaus—is founded [thanks to] the zeal of a legation taken on by Julius the African, a writer of the times, for this purpose.8 This is Emmaus which,  

Notes

1 DB: CM (ed. Mommsen, §348) reads ‘with Narcissus … was still living’ (uiuente adhus Narcisso) rather than ‘Narcissus … came to him’.
2 DB: The repeat of ‘In the year 212th year’ might perhaps be linked to the patched hole (see note on AD ‘116’ for 196).
3 DB: Abagarus in the manuscript; Abgarus in CM (ed. Mommsen, §351). This is probably Abgar VIII (176/7–211/12), king of Osroene (with Edessa as its capital). For this, and Julius the African’s reference to him as a ‘holy man’, see James Corke-Webster, ‘A man for the times: Jesus and the Abgar correspondence in Eusebius of Caesarea’s Ecclesiastical History’, Harvard Theological Review 110:4 (October 2017), 563–87, at 565 n.7.
4 DB: The African (Julius the African in AD 219, below) was author of a chronicle and other works, as noted by Rufinus (trans. Amidon, 266).
5 DB: Modern Aksaray in Anatolia.
6 DB: This is Diadumenianus: CM (ed. Mommsen, §352) also reads Diadumeno here.
7 DB: The chronicle’s Neapolis is Naples; CM (Mommsen, 354) has Nicopolis, a town not quite 20 Roman miles west of Jerusalem (see S. Reece, ‘Seven stades to Emmaus’, New Testament Studies, 47 (2001), 262–6, at 263 (published online as vol.48:2 (April 2002) 262–6)). See also next note.
8 DB: This compressed sentence, found in CM (Mommsen, §354), originated verbatim (including the reading Nicopolis) in Eusebius’s Chronicles (PL, xxvii, 479–80 m, under the year 222). See also the History of Emmaus-Nicopolis by the Community of the Beatitudes there (https://www.emmaus-nicopolis.org/english/history-of-emmaus/late-roman-period [accessed 24 May 2023]).
