I. Theodosii Iunioris et Rumoridi
[...]
Iohannem Constantinopolitanae civitatis episcopum, cui supradicti sex antistites incassum aemuli fuere aliosque triginta sibimet episcopos conscivere, nolente Arcadio principe in Cuccusum Armeniae oppidum exulem miserunt eumque post annum in villam, quae Comana in regione Pontica dicitur, de exilio in exilium relegarunt. hunc ibidem mortuum religiosa orthodoxorum plebs in atrio Basilisci episcopi idemque martyris ab eodem martyre in somnis
ammonita in novum moxque repertum sepulchrum recondidit.
'1st indiction, consulship of Theodosius the younger and Rumoridus [= 403]
[...]
The six bishops mentioned above were unsuccessful rivals of John, the bishop of the city of Constantinople, and they were in league with another thirty bishops. Against the will of the emperor Arcadius, they sent him into exile in the town of Cuccusus in Armenia, and after a year relegated him from one exile to another, at a villa called Comana in the Pontic region. When he died there the religious people from among the orthodox buried him in the new and recently discovered tomb in the church of the bishop and martyr Basiliscus, after being directed in dreams by the martyr.'
