XVII.—(For 345.) Coss. Amantius, Albinus; Præf.
Nestorius of Gaza; Indict. iii; Easter-day, vii Id. Apr., xii
Pharmuthi; Moon 19; Æra Dioclet. 61.
Athanasius to the
Presbyters and Deacons of Alexandria, and to the beloved brethren,
greeting in Christ.
According to custom, I give you notice respecting
Easter, my beloved, that you also may notify the same to the districts
of those who are at a distance, as is usual. Therefore, after this
present festival4435
| 4435 Observe that Athan. gives notice at Easter, a.d. 344, upon what day Easter is to be observed in a.d. 345, and not immediately after the succeeding
Epiphany, as Cassian asserts to have been the custom of the Patriarch
of Alexandria. (Cassian. Collat. x. 1.) Cf. Letters 2, 4,
10, 18, &c. | , I mean this which
is on the twentieth of the month Pharmuthi, the Easter-day following
will be on the vii Id. April, or according to the Alexandrians on the
twelfth of Pharmuthi. Give notice therefore in all those districts,
that Easter-day will be on the vii Id. April, or according to the
Alexandrian reckoning on the twelfth of Pharmuthi. That you may be in
health in Christ, I pray, my beloved brethren.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
