E00325: The first edition of the Liber Pontificalis, written in Latin in Rome in the 530s, in its account of *Anicetus (bishop of Rome, S00143), states that he was buried in Rome close to the body of *Peter (the Apostle, S00036), on 20 April [AD 153]. The second edition, written not long before 546, adds that he died a martyr, and places his burial in the cemetery of Callixtus, also on 20 April.
