Volume 6, 2005:column 404 (Historia acephala; also called the Historia Athanasii; one of the most important chronological sources for the life of Saint Athanasius; it was probably written in 386 [i.e. 13 years after the death of Athanasius] and offers a chronological history of the Alexandrian see from 346; at the beginning of the 5th century, the Historia was abridged and translated into Latin in Carthage; only the Latin version survives)
