Additional Note on
Apol. C. Arianos,
§50.
List of Bishops Present at
Sardica
.
The
materials for an
authentic list are (1) the names given by Athanasius,
Apol. c.
Ar
. 50,
previous
to the lists of bishops from various
provinces who signed the letter of the council when in circulation.
These names, given with no specification of their sees, are 77 in
number. (2) The list of signatures to the letter of the council to
Julius, given by Hilary,
Fragm.
ii., 59 in number. The
signatures to the letters discovered by Maffei and printed in Migne,
Patr. Gr.
xxvi. 1331, sqq. Of these, 26 sign (3) the
council’s letter to the Mareotic Churches, and 61, in part the
same, sign (4) the letter of Athanasius to the same (
Letter
46
in this volume). These signatures comprise 30
names not given by
Hilary,
while those in (1) add six which are absent from (2) and
(3) alike. This raises the total to 95. We add (5) Gratus of Carthage,
present according to the Greek text of the Canons, although he
afterward signed the letter in a local council of his own, like Maximin
of Treveri, Verissimus of Lyons, and Arius of Palestine, who are
therefore given by Athanasius in his second list (the former two being
omitted from the first): also Euphrates of Cologne, who was sent by
Constans to Antioch with the council’s decisions (Prolegg. ch.
ii. §6), and was therefore most likely present at the council
itself. We thus get 97 in all.
This total is confirmed if we subtract from the
‘170 more or less’ of
Hist. Arian.
15 the 76
seceders to Philippopolis (Sabinus in Socr. ii. 16), 73 of whom sign
their letter, given by Hilary. This leaves 94 ‘more or
less,’ so that the list now to be given, in elucidation of that
of Athanasius, has strong claims to rank as approximately correct. The

The names, both of bishops and of sees, have
suffered much in transcription, and the above list is the result of
comparing the divergent errors of the various lists. The details of the
latter will be found in the originals, and in the discussion of the
Ballerini, on whose work (in Leonis M. Opp. vol. iii. pp. xlii. sqq.)
our list is founded. In some cases the names of the see are clearly
corrupt beyond all recognition. The signatures appended to the canons
in the collections of councils, are taken (with certain uncritical
adaptations) from the Hilarian list, with the addition, in some copies,
of Alexander (3 supra), whose name, therefore, has probably dropped out
of the Hilarian text in course of transmission.]
