St Leo the Great, NPNF II.12
CXXXVII. Letter 137: To the Same, and on the Same Day
(On the subject of Easter, acknowledging the trouble Proterius has taken, — to which is joined a request that the accounts of the oeconomi1 should be audited by priests, not lay persons.)
Notes
- Aeconomi (stewards) revere officers appointed to manage the revenues of each diocese under the bishops’ direction, when the bishops and their archdeacons had enough to do otherwise: cf. Bingham, Antiq., Bk. III. chap. xii.
