xanthicus

Wherefore they that will depart shall have safe conduct till the thirtieth day of Xanthicus with security.

Fare ye well. In the hundred forty and eighth year, and the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

Farewell. This hundred and eight and fortieth year, the fifteenth day of the month Xanthicus.

Now, the blessed Polycarp suffered martyrdom on the second day of the month Xanthicus just begun, the seventh day before the Calends of May, on the great Sabbath, at the eighth hour. He was taken by Herod, Philip the Trallian being high priest, Statius Quadratus being proconsul, but Jesus Christ being King for ever, to whom be glory, honour, majesty, and an everlasting throne, from generation to generation. Amen.
