[109] Here a difficulty occurs. There is no such name in the
lists of the prefects of the city. According to this account, he
transferred to the deputy, Aspasius, the duty of sentencing her. In some
accounts he is called Aspasius Paternus. A Paternus was prefect of the
city in 264 and 265; an Ovinius Paternus in 281. Aspasius Paternus,
pro-consul of Africa, in or about 260, is mentioned by S. Cyprian. It is
probable that Symphronius was not prefect of the city, but a powerful
senator, and that Aspasius is the same as Ovinius Paternus. Transcribers
made havoc of the names in the Acts.
