Dictionary of Christian Biography and Literature to the End of the Sixth Century/Eutychianus, bp. of Rome
Eutychianus (3), bp. of Rome from Jan. 275 to Dec. 283, during a period
of 8 years, 11 months and 3 days, and buried in the cemetery of Callistus. The
truth of the record in the Liberian Catalogue has been confirmed by the discovery
by De Rossi (Rom. Sot. ii. 70), in the papal crypt of the cemetery, of
fragments of a slab inscribed ΕΥΤΥΧΙΑΝΟC ΕΠΙC
(Eutychianus episcopus). Ten decreta appear as his in the collections of Gratian,
Ivo, and others.
