Iohannes, natione Syrus, de provintia Anthiochia, ex patre Cyriaco, sedit ann. I dies VIIII. Vir valde strenuus atque scientia praeditus et omnimodo moderatus.

knowledgeable, and in every way temperate.'

.....

Qui sanctissimus vir diutina infirmitate detentus, ut etiam vix ordinationes sacerdotum explere potuisset. Hic dimisit omni clero, monasteriis diaconiae et mansionariis solidos IDCCCC. Fecit autem episcopos per diversa loca numero XIII. Qui etiam sepultus est ad beatum Petrum apostolum sub die II mens. aug.

'This most holy man was weakened by long-term illness, so that he could hardly even complete the ordinations of priests (sacerdotes). To all the clergy, the monasteries serving the poor, and the mansionarii, he left 1900 solidi. He made 13 bishops for various places. He was buried at the blessed Peter the apostle on the 2nd day of August.'
