Reading edition
Ad Scotos in Christum credentes, ordinatur a Papa Cælestino Palladius, et primus episcopus mittitur. Such are the words of Prosper of Aquitaine in his Chronicle, ad an. 431. Not only were there believers amongst the Irish at this time, but heretics, according to Jerome. The Pelagian heresy was sometimes called Pultis Scottorum. Vide the authorities, etc., quoted by O’Connor in Rer. Hib. Scrip. Vet., vol. i. p. lxxi.
