DIONYSIUS, besides his epistles already mentioned, wrote at
that time also his extant Festal Epistles, in which he uses words of
panegyric respecting the passover feast. He addressed one of these to
Flavius, and another to Domitius and Didymus, in which he sets
forth a canon of eight years, maintaining that it is not proper to
observe the paschal feast until after the vernal equinox. Besides
these he sent another epistle to his fellow-presbyters in Alexandria,
as well as various others to different persons while the persecution was
still prevailing.
