History of Dor. 105 



mensis Mali, anno iam duodecimo post Euthymii mortem (proinde- 

 que Christ! 484). Quum aliquod autem tempus transiisset, dia- 

 conus quoque Fidus accipit episcopatum civitatis quae vocatur 

 Dora : " Proindeque ordinatus est Fidus iste, vel sub finem anni 

 484 vel anno seq. 485. Quid in praesulatu egerit, & quonam 

 obierit anno nos latet. Constat solum exeunte anno 518, eum non 

 fuisse amplius superstitem. 



BAROCHIUS. 



The second Bishop of Dor of whom we have any record is 

 Barochius^, who was present at the council of Jerusalem in 518\ 

 This council convened under Patriarch John of Jerusalem in order 

 to ratify the decisions of the Council of Constantinople held earlier 

 in the same year under Patriarch John of Constantinople\ The 

 two councils were in decided agreement. Among the thirty-three 

 bishops assembled at Jerusalem was Barochius. His name appears 

 with the other signatures attached to the decree of assent issued 

 by the Jerusalem Patriarch* : Ba/oa);(to9 cTrtb-KOTros Awpwv ippwadai /xc, 

 Kot TO. XoLira. Barochius*, episcopus Dororum, valere me, & reliqua. 

 From the first signature to this document (viz., that of the Patri- 

 arch John of Jerusalem) we learn that Kal to. Xonrd represents : kol 

 T<x KvpLio €vape(rT€LV €V)(€aOc ScoTTTOTai ayiOL, kcu Oeo<f>i\€aTaTOL, Kal 6(n(ji)TaToi 

 Trarc/aes. Latin : & domino beneplacere orate, domini sancti, ac 

 Deo amantissimi & sanctissimi patres. 



In the year 518, therefore, Barochius was at the head of the 

 bishopric of Dor. Further information concerning him we have 

 none'. 



JOHN. 



A third Bishop of Dor was among those who, in September, 536, 

 were present at a council held in Jerusalem under the Patriarch 



* Variant form in the Latin, " Marochius" (Harduin, Acta Conciliorum 

 II, p. 1346; Mansi, Sacrorum Conciliorum nova et amplissima Collectio, 

 VIII, p. 1073). Guerin {Sam. 2:313) writes " Baronius." He also calls him 

 the first Bishop of Dor.

 in Harduin among the acts of a later Constantinople Council, held in 536 

 under Mennas (Hefele I.e.; Noris, Annus et Epochae, p. 457).
