Canon CXXXVII

p. 509 Canon CXXXVII.  (Continuation of the last in the Greek.)

Here begin the examples of the Nicene Council, sent on the sixth day before the calends of December in the year 419, ⁴⁹⁴ after the consulate of the most glorious emperor Honorius for the XIIth time, and Theodosius for the IXth time, ⁴⁹⁵ Augustuses, to Boniface the bishop of the City of Rome.

We believe in one God etc.…the Catholic and Apostolic Church anathematizes them. ⁴⁹⁶

To this symbol of the faith there were also annexed copies of the statutes of the same Nicene Councils from the aforenamed pontiffs, in all respects as are contained above; which we do not think it necessary to write out here again.
