E04955: The Life of *Nikolaos of Sion (abbot and bishop in Lycia, ob. 564, S00559) mentions a festival described as the Rosalia of *Nikolaos (probably the bishop of Myra, S00520) at Myra (Lycia, south-west Asia Minor), celebrated in 564. It is probably accompanied by a general assembly (synodos) of the clergy of the province. Written in Greek in the late 6th c., probably at the monastery of Holy Sion in Lycia.

Φθάσαντος δὲ τοῦ καιροῦ τῶν Ῥοσσαλίων τοῦ προπάτορος ἡμῶν τοῦ ἁγίου Νικολάου, κατῆλθεν ἐν Μύροις τῇ μητροπόλει εἰς τὴν σύνοδον ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ δοῦλος Νικόλαος. καὶ εὐξάμενος, καὶ ἀπολαύσας τῶν ἁγίων καὶ τῶν τιμίων πατέρων καὶ συλλειτουργῶν τῆς ἐν Χριστῷ ἁγίας συνόδου, καὶ ἀσπασάμενος πάντας καὶ τὴν εἰρήνην πᾶσιν ἀποδεδωκώς, ἀνῆλθεν εἰς τὸ εὐαγὲς αὐτοῦ μοναστήριον, καὶ συνελήφθη ἐν ἀρρωστίᾳ.
'When the time of the Rosalia of our forefather Saint Nikolaos came, the servant of God Nikolaos came down to the feast (synodos) at the metropolis of Myra. He prayed and enjoyed the fellowship of the saints and venerable fathers and fellow celebrants of the holy assembly (synodos) in Christ; and, having embraced and given his peace to everyone, he came back to his charitable monastery, and was seized by illness.'
