44 Bacchylus the bishop PL 23, 657

Bacchylus, bishop of Corinth, was held in renown under the same emperor Severus, and wrote, as representative of all the bishops who were in Achaia, an elegant work On the passover.

885 Bacchylus, Corinthi episcopus, sub eodem Severo principe clarus habitus, de Pascha ex omnium qui in Achaia erant episcoporum persona, elegantem h librum scripsit.

886 Βακχύλος, Κορίνθου ἐπίσκοπος, ὁμοίως Σεβήρου βασιλεύοντος λαμπρὸς ὑπάρχων, περὶ τοῦ πάσχα ἐκ προσώπου πάντων τῶν ἐν Ἀχαΐᾳ ἐπισκόπων θαυμαστὴν συνέταξε βίβλον.
