About the source:

Title: Council of Elvira, Concilium Eliberritanum
Origin: Elvira (Iberian Peninsula)
Denomination: Catholic/Nicene/Chalcedonian

The exact date of the council and the nature of the Elvira canons continues to be debated. The list of names of the presbyters is transmitted only in two manuscripts (one from Gerona, the other from Urgel) representing the so-called Vulgata recension (dated AD 694/701) of the canonical collection Hispana (Sánchez 2008: 524; Villela 2014: 212, n. 9).
