13. Nebridius, another close friend, does not seem to have been at Cassiciacum, though associated with Augustine both in Carthage and Milan. He died a Christian not long after Augustine's baptism (Conf. IX iii 6).

20. His name, Possidius, is not to be confounded with Possidonius, a bishop who appears at some of the councils and who, in conjunction with Possidius, signed the letter addressed by the Council of Milevum to Pope Innocent I ( Ep. CLXXVI). Manuscript evidence proves that Possidius, not Possidonius, is the name of Augustine's biographer.

34. More severely, no doubt, than they had already been punished by the edict of Honorius in the preceding November.
35. Mansi III 810. There seems to be some confusion as to this date. In the Acts of the Councils it is given as Honorii VIII et Theodosii IV. However, to agree with the Fasti Consulares (ed. W. Liebenam, pp. 41-42) it ought to read Honorii VIII et Theodosii III, and this could apply to either 409 or 410. Accordingly 410 has been adopted as being the more probable. This date is also given in the margin of Mansi's edition, though 409 is given in the index.
