Minge, Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, [1864], Patrologiæ Græcæ, Tomus LXV, S. Procli Cp. Episcopi, Oratio In Laudem S. Stephani, Oratio XVII [Lauditio Sancti Protomartyris Stephani], § II, Col. 809). Here Trans. (J. H. Treat, The Catholic Faith; Or, Doctrines of the Church of Rome Contrary to Scripture and the Teaching of the Primitive Church, [1888], p. 194). Here
