In basilica beati Probi sepultus est, non longe ab ecclesia beati Apolenaris quasi stadio uno.
‘He [Aderitus, the second bishop of Ravenna] is buried in the basilica of blessed Probus, not far from the church of blessed Apollinaris, about one stade.’
Agnellus of Ravenna, Liber Pontificalis Ecclesiae Ravennatis 97
Mortuus est autem in senectute bona die .xvi. Kalendas Septembris, et sepultus est, ut asserunt quidam, in ardica beati Probi confessoris in ciuitate dudum Classis. In arca magna saxea ibidem positus fuit, iuxta ecclesiam beatae Euphemiae quae uocatur Ad mare, quam Maximianus pontifex tessellis uariis mire ornauit, quae nunc demolita est.
‘However he [Peter III Bishop of Ravenna, ob. 578] died in good old age on the sixteenth kalends of September [August 17] and was buried, as some say, in the narthex of St Probus the confessor in the former city of Classe. There he was placed in a great stone sarcophagus next to the church of St Euphemia which is called 'By the Sea' [$E05843], which Bishop Maximian decorated wonderfully with various mosaics, which is now demolished.’
