50:1
Damasus post Liberium per successionem sacerdotium in urbe Roma susceperat. Quem praelatum sibi non ferens Ursinus quidam ejusdem Ecclesiae diaconus intantum furoris erupit, ut persuaso quodam satis imperito et agresti Episcopo, collecta turbulentorum et seditiosorum hominum manu, in Basilica quae Sicinini appellatur, Episcopum se fieri extorqueret legibus et ordine et traditione perversis. Quo ex facto tanta seditio, imo vero tanta bella coorta sunt, alterutrum defendentibus populis, ut replerentur humano sanguine orationum loca. Quae res factione Maximini Praefecti saevi hominis, ad invidiam boni et innocentis versa est sacerdotis, ita ut caussa ad Clericorum usque tormenta deduceretur.
在羅馬城，達瑪穌接續利百流，藉傳承領受了祭司職任。該教會有一位執事名叫烏爾西努，因不能忍受別人被高舉過於自己，竟陷入如此瘋狂，唆使某個相當無知粗野的主教，糾集一群動亂與煽亂之人，在那稱為西西尼努的會堂裏，違背律法、次序與傳統，強行使自己被立為主教。由此引發了極大的暴亂——不如說是極大的爭戰，眾民各為一方爭鬥，以致禱告的場所被人血充滿。此事又因兇暴之人、總督馬克西米努的黨派，轉變為對一位善良無辜祭司的惡意中傷，甚至使案件牽連到對神職人員的酷刑。
Damasus, after Liberius, had received the priesthood by succession in the city of Rome. A certain Ursinus, a deacon of that same Church, not bearing him being preferred to himself, broke out into such madness that, having persuaded a certain quite unskilled and rustic bishop, and gathered a band of turbulent and seditious men, he extorted in the Basilica which is called Sicininum that he be made bishop, with the laws and order and tradition perverted. From this deed so great a sedition—nay rather, so great wars—arose, with the peoples defending the one or the other side, that the places of prayer were filled with human blood. And this affair, through the faction of Maximinus, a savage man and Prefect, was turned to the malice against a good and innocent priest, so that the case was carried even to the tortures of the clergy.
50:2
Sed assertor innocentiae Deus affuit, et in caput eorum qui intenderant dolum, poena conversa est.
但那作無辜者辯護的神親自臨在，刑罰反倒臨到了那些圖謀詭計之人的頭上。
But God, the defender of innocence, was present, and the punishment was turned upon the head of those who had plotted the deceit.
