E01111: Augustine of Hippo, in his City of God (22.8), tells how relics of *Stephen (the First Martyr, S00030) were deposited in Castellum Sinitense, close to Hippo Regius (North Africa); the local bishop was healed when he carried them in procession; all in the early 420s. Written in Latin in Hippo, c. 426/427.

Augustine of Hippo, City of God 22.8

Memorati memoriam martyris [sc. Stephani], quae posita est in Castello Sinitensi, quod Hipponiensi Coloniae uicinum est, eiusdem loci Lucillus episcopus populo praecedente atque sequente portabat. Fistula, cuius molestia iam diu laborauerat et familiarissimi sui medici, qui eum secaret, opperiebatur manus, illius piae sarcinae uectatione repente sanata est; nam deinceps eam in suo corpore non inuenit.

'Relics of the same saint [sc. Stephen], which are deposited in the Castle of Sinitis [Castellum Sinitense], in the neighborhood of the city of Hippo [Colonia Hipponiensis], were carried by Lucillus, the bishop of this place, and many people were both preceding and following him. A fistula under which he had long labored, and which his private physician was watching an opportunity to cut, was suddenly cured by the mere carrying of that sacred burden, for afterwards there was no trace of it in his body.'
