Notes

1 DB: Originally written Aul-, with the l corrected to an r.
2 DB: Read gloriose.
as Luke relates, the Lord deigned to sanctify with his entrance after the resurrection. Bishop Hyppolitus, creator of many minor works, delivered the law of time up to this point.1 Indeed he, devising the nineteen-year2 Easter cycle, gave a motive for Joseph,3 who set in order against him the nineteen-year cycle for Easter.
In the 220th year
¶The blessed Cecilia the virgin, after she had instructed her husband Valerian and his brother Tiburtius to believe in Christ, and had then incited [them] to martyrdom, she was after their martyrdom perfected by noble suffering on the orders of the prefect Almachius.
In the 221st year

In the 222nd year Marcus Aurelius Antoninus died, and Aurelius Alexander took his place for 16 years. In his time Urban bishop of Rome led many nobles to the faith of Christ and to martyrdom. Origen of Alexandria was seen as brilliant by the whole of the world. ¶The emperor Alexander was especially devoted to his mother Mammaea, and on account of it beloved by all. Eventually she cared to hear Origen, and he had a call to Antioch with the highest4 ¶honour.
In the 223rd year

In the 224th year the blessed Pope Callixtus suffered martyrdom for the sake of Jesus. The emperor Alexander ordered him, subjected to a lengthy custody, to be racked with hunger, and struck daily with cudgels. At last, however, thrown through the window of the house in which he was being kept, he earned the triumph of victory; the blessed Urban succeeded him, governing the Church gloriously for 4 years, 11 months [and] 12 days.
¶St Martina, tortured by various kinds of torments, passed
In the 225th year away to the Lord at last, struck by a sword.

In the 226th year

In the 227th year

In the 228th year

In the 229th year the blessed Pope Urban suffered martyrdom for the sake of Christ; the blessed Pontian succeeded him, ruling the Church for 5 years, 5 months [and] ten days.
In the 230th year

In the 231st year St Anthony is born.

In the 232nd year

In the 233rd year

In the 234th year

In the 235th year Aurelius Alexander died, and the empire fell to Maximinus. The emperor Maximinus perpetrates the persecution of priests and clerics and teachers of churches, especially because of the Christian household  

Notes

1 DB: The end of this sentence reads temporum canonem hucusque perduxit; CM (ed. Mommsen, §355) includes quem scripsit between canonem and hucusque, making it that this rule was written by Hyppolitus.
2 DB: Read ‘sixteen-year cycle’: CM (ed. Mommsen, §355) has sedecennalem for decemnoualem.
3 DB: CM (ed. Mommsen, §355) reads Eusebio for Iosepho, i.e., Eusebius (i.e., Eusebius of Laodicea, friend of Anatolius (d.283), who he succeeded as bishop of Laodicea). Anatolius is now usually credited with establishing the initial nineteen-year cycle in the Church. See further Alden A. Mosshammer, The Easter Computus and the Origins of the Christian Era (Oxford, 2008), chapter 8.
4 DB: This is abbreviated from CM (Mommsen, §357, §359) to such an extent that there is a risk that a reader will not realise that curauit (‘cared’) and habuit (‘had’) have different subjects.
