Greek text · Dindorf 4:266–267

μεθʼ ὃν Κάλλιστος τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν ἐγχειρίζεται, ὃς ἐπιβιώσας ἔτεσιν πέντε Οὐρβανῷ τὴν λειτουργίαν καταλείπει. αὐτοκράτωρ Ἀλέξανδρος ἐπὶ τούτοις διαδέχεται τὴν Ῥωμαίων ἀρχὴν, ἐπὶ τέτταρσι μόνοις ἔτεσιν Ἀντωνίνου διαγενομένου. ἐν τούτῳ δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ τῆς Ἀντιοχέων ἐκκλησίας Ἀσκληπιάδην Φιλητὸς διαδέχεται.

English · Claude translation

After him Callistus was entrusted with the episcopate; he survived five years and left the ministry to Urban. After these, the emperor Alexander succeeded to the rule of the Romans, Antoninus having lasted only four years. At this time Philetus succeeded Asclepiades in the church of the Antiochenes.
