et in unum genitum filium eius dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, qui ante aeuum ex patre generatus est, ex deo deus, ex luce lux, per quem facta sunt omnia, quae in caelis et quae in terra, uisibilia et inuisibilia, sermo qui sit et sapientia, uirtus et uita et lux uera, qui in nouissimis temporibus propter nos induerit hominem et natus sit de sancta uirgine Maria et crucifixus et mortuus et sepultus sit. tertia die surrexit a mortuis et adsumptus in caelum sedet in dextera patris, uenturus in fine mundi iudicare uiuos et mortuos et reddere unicuique secundum opera sua, cuius regnum incessabile permanet in aeterna saecula. est enim sedens in dextera patris, non solum in isto saeculo, sed et in futuro.
And in his only-begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who was begotten from the Father before the age, God from God, light from light, through whom all things were made, those in the heavens and those on earth, visible and invisible; who is Word and Wisdom, Power and Life and true Light; who in the last times for our sake put on man, and was born of the holy virgin Mary, and was crucified and died and was buried. On the third day he rose from the dead and, taken up into heaven, sits at the right hand of the Father, and will come at the end of the world to judge the living and the dead and to render to each according to his works; whose kingdom remains unceasing for eternal ages. For he sits at the right hand of the Father not only in this age but also in the age to come.

Notes and citation
Summary: The creed of the Eastern bishops at Serdica confesses the Son, begotten before the ages, incarnate, crucified, risen, seated at the Father’s right hand and coming to judge.
- This is the creed of the Eastern bishops who met separately at Serdica (Philippopolis, 343), in Hilary’s Latin. Feder prints “[et] ex deo”; the bracketed word, which the editor deletes, is omitted. The Greek text printed opposite and the apparatus, which the re-OCR ran into the Latin, are removed by a logged correction.
Notes on the original text
- Digital text corrected (unproofed re-OCR: removed the Greek of the facing column and apparatus that interrupt the text; OCR slips fixed (lesum, faeta, saneta, erueifixus, euius); the editor’s bracketed [et] omitted): et in unum genitum filium eius dominum nostrum lesum Christum, qui ante aeuum ex patre generatus est, [et] ex deo 15 Esgócuy, Godxnc,H ppuórtov, ITarvoríag, Mvolaz, Jaxíag, t5rde rw 'H.

1.4.2.3CSEL 65:71–72
credimus in spiritum sanctum, hoc est in paraclitum, quem promittens apostolis post adsumtionem suam in caelum misit docere illos et instruere de omnibus, per quem sanctificantur animae in ipsum fideliter credentes. credimus et in sanctam ecclesiam, in remissam peccatorum, in carnis resurrectionem, in uitam aeternam.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, that is, in the Paraclete, whom, having promised him to the apostles, he sent after his taking up into heaven, to teach them and instruct them in all things; through whom the souls that faithfully believe in him are sanctified. We believe also in the holy church, in the remission of sins, in the resurrection of the flesh, in eternal life.
John 14:26 (allusion, high confidence) · John 16:7 (allusion, high confidence)
Notes and citation
Summary: The creed continues with the Holy Spirit, the Paraclete sent to the apostles, and the church, forgiveness, resurrection and eternal life.
- Feder prints a second Latin version of this article in a parallel column; it and the Greek and apparatus, which the re-OCR mixed into the line, are removed. The phrase “in ipsum” (“in him”) may refer to the Son or the Spirit.

1.4.2.4CSEL 65:72–74
illos uero, qui dicunt ex id, quod non fuit, filium aut ex alia substantia et non ex deo aut qui dicunt fuisse aliquando tempus uel saeculum, quando non fuit filius, haereticos damnat sancta et catholica ecclesia. similiter et illos, qui dicunt tres esse deos aut Christum non esse deum aut ante aeuum non fuisse Christum neque filium dei aut ipsum patrem et filium et spiritum sanctum aut non natum filium aut non sententia neque uoluntate deum patrem genuisse filium, hos omnes anathematizat et execratur sancta et catholica ecclesia.
But those who say that the Son is from what was not, or from another substance and not from God, or who say that there was once a time or an age when the Son was not, the holy and catholic church condemns as heretics. Likewise also those who say that there are three gods, or that Christ is not God, or that Christ, the Son of God, did not exist before the age, or that the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are the same, or that the Son is unbegotten, or that God the Father did not beget the Son by his counsel and will: all these the holy and catholic church anathematizes and execrates.
Notes and citation
Summary: The anathemas of the Eastern creed of Serdica condemn Arian formulas, tritheism, the denial of Christ’s Godhead or pre-existence, and the identification of Father, Son and Spirit.
- Feder prints this article in two parallel Latin versions; only the continuous text is kept and the parallel column, the Greek and the apparatus are removed. “The same” renders “ipsum” (the Sabellian identification of the three).
