VI Id. Mai. Romae, natale Calepodii senis, presbyteri, sub Alexandro imperatore, qui eum fecit occidi a Laodicio, et corpus trahi per civitatem, atque in Tiberim iactari, die Kalendarum maiarum. Quod inventum piscatores levaverunt, et narraverunt Callisto episcopo. At ille acceptum condidit cum aromatibus et linteaminibus, et sepelivit eum in coemetrio eiusdem, via Aurelia, milliario ab urbe tertio, in crypta, VI Idus Maii. Tunc decollatus est ab Alexandro Palmatius consul, cum uxore et filiis et aliis, promiscui sexus, quadraginta duobus, cum quibus et Simplicius senator, qui per doctrinam Callisti papae et Calepodii presbyteri, nuper fuerant baptizanti. Scriptum in passione sancti Callisti papae.
'10 May. At Rome, the feast of the old man Calepodius, priest, under the emperor Alexander, who had him killed by Laodicius, and had his body dragged through the city and thrown in the Tiber, on May 1. Fishermen raised up the discovered body and reported it to Bishop Callistus. And he preserved the body, which he had received, with spices and linen cloths, and buried it in his own cemetery, on the Aurelian Way, at the third milestone from the city, in a crypt, on May 10. Then the consul Palmatius was beheaded by Alexander, along with his wife and children and forty-two others of mixed sex, and with them the senator Simplicius, who had just recently been baptized through the teaching of Pope Callistus and the priest Calepodius. It is written in the Martyrdom of St Callistus, pope.'
