Letter 20*
The following scene takes place in Tegulata, where the episcopal tribunal gathered to judge Antoninus, the bishop of Fussala:
13. Then Bishop Antoninus asked that the presbyter who had been sent from Fussala be brought in. When he entered, the letters of the presbyters and of the people of Fussala were read out. When he saw that it was full of pitiful complaints against him, on account of which they were refusing by every means to accept as bishop a man from whom they had been justly and rightly freed, he refused to believe that the letter was sent by them and asked the holy primate that, with some bishops from the number of those who had been granted him, he himself would deign to visit those places and explore the attitudes of the presbyters and the people [...].
16. And so, under the eyes of six bishops, that people, having assembled quickly and in large numbers, were questioned and were found to be of the same opnion as when they had sent a letter to the church of Tegulata by the presbyter, and in fact they were more vehement and bitter.
