Text
Μνήμης δ’ ἄξια τυγχάνει καὶ τὰ περὶ Ῥωμανὸν ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ ἐπὶ τῆς αὐτῆς ἡμέρας ἀποτελεσθέντα. Παλαιστῖνός γὰρ οὗτος ὢν, διάκονός τε καὶ ἐπορκιστὴς τῆς ἐν Καισαρείᾳ παροικίας, ὁμοῦ τῇ τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν καθαιρέσει γενόμενος ἐκεῖσε, πλείους ἄνδρας ἅμα γυναιξὶ καὶ τέκνοις σωρηδὸν τοῖς εἰδώλοις προσιόντας τε καὶ θύοντας ἐνιδὼν. ἀνύποιστον ἡγησάμενος τὴν θέαν, ζήλῳ θεοσεβείας πρόσεισι, κἀκείνοις μεγάλῃ φωνῇ κεκραγὼς ἐπιπλήττει.1
Translation
What occurred to Romanus on the same day at Antioch, is also worthy of record. For he was a native of Palestine, a deacon and exorcist in the parish of Caesarea; and being present at the destruction of the churches, he beheld many men with women and children going up in crowds to the idols and sacrificing. But, through his great zeal for religion, he could not endure the sight, and rebuked them with a loud voice.2
