5:1
Fuit praeterea in illo Concilio et Paphnutius, homo Dei, Episcopus ex Aegypti partibus, Confessor ex illis quos Maximianus dexteris oculis effossis, et sinistro poplite succiso, per metalla damnaverat. Sed in hoc tanta virtutum inerat gratia, ut signa per eum non minus, quam dudum per Apostolos fierent. Nam et daemones verbo tantum fugabat, et aegros sola oratione curabat: sed et caecis visum dicitur reddidisse, et paralyticos ad stabilitatem corporis revocasse. Quem Constantinus in tanta veneratione, et affectu habuit, ut saepius eum intra palatium evocatum complecteretur, et illum oculum, qui in confessione fidei fuerat evulsus, avidioribus osculis demulceret.
此外在那會議中還有帕弗努提烏,是位神人,從埃及一帶來的主教,是認信者之一——他們乃是被馬克西米安挖去右眼、砍斷左膝筋、判處在礦坑服苦役的人。但這人裡面有何等大的眾德之恩,以致藉他所行的神蹟不亞於昔日藉眾使徒所行的。因為他只憑一句話就趕逐鬼魔,只憑禱告就醫治病人;據說他還使瞎子復明,使癱子恢復身體的健全。君士坦丁如此尊崇敬愛他,以致屢屢召他入宮擁抱他,並以更熱切的親吻撫慰那因認信而被剜出的眼睛。
There was moreover in that council also Paphnutius, a man of God, a bishop from the regions of Egypt, a Confessor from among those whom Maximian had condemned to the mines, with their right eyes gouged out and their left knee-tendons cut. But in this man so great a grace of virtues was present that signs were wrought through him no less than once through the Apostles. For he put demons to flight by a word alone, and healed the sick by prayer alone; he is even said to have restored sight to the blind, and to have recalled paralytics to bodily soundness. Constantine held him in such great veneration and affection that he often summoned him within the palace and embraced him, and with eager kisses caressed that eye which had been torn out in the confession of the faith.
