Editors' preface

NICOLAI TOINARDI MONITUM LECTORI.

NICOLAS TOINARD'S NOTICE TO THE READER.

Ex quo ea, quae in his notis ad cap. 4, de Sabbato magno, deque BB. Polycarpi ac Pionii passionibus, fere animi gratia scripsi, typis mandata sunt, operae pretium duxi profiteri, probabiles admodum mihi videri sententias illas duas, quae pluribus a me alias exponentur: nempe Sabbato ipso magno Judaico, id est, quod decimam quartam lunam paschalem proxime praecedit, Polycarpum martyrium fecisse die 26 mensis Martii (prout in Actis), et quidem anno Christi

Since the things which, in these notes on chapter 4, I wrote almost for amusement concerning the Great Sabbath and the passions of the blessed Polycarp and Pionius have been committed to print, I have thought it worth while to declare that those two opinions, which will be set out at greater length by me elsewhere, seem to me highly probable: namely, that on the great Jewish Sabbath itself, that is, the one which immediately precedes the fourteenth paschal moon, Polycarp suffered martyrdom on the 26th day of the month of March (as in the Acts), and indeed in the year of Christ

PL 7:434

147; Pionium autem comprehensum fuisse Sabbato quoque magno, die 22 Martii anni 251, et martyrio fuisse affectum die 12 septimi Asianorum mensis, qui supradicto 251 anno in Sabbatum, atque in 5 diem Aprilis incidit.

147; but that Pionius was arrested also on the Great Sabbath, on 22 March of the year 251, and was put to martyrdom on the 12th day of the seventh month of the Asians, which in the aforesaid year 251 fell on a Sabbath and on the 5th day of April.

Iis, qui hanc tuebuntur sententiam, nulla erit habenda consulatuum ratio, utpote Actis proconsularibus perperam adjectorum.

For those who will defend this opinion, no account will need to be taken of the consulates, as having been wrongly added to the proconsular Acts.
