In the days of these Emperors above recited, was Pontianus 1bishop of Rome, who succeeded next after Urbanus about the year 236. §237in the twelfth year of Alexander, according to Eusebius declaring him to sit six years. Damasus and Platius write that he was Bishop nine years and a half, and with Phillip his priest was banished into Sardinia, and there died. But it seemeth he was rather banished under Maximinus, and died in the beginning of the reign of Gordianus.
