The sentence For at that time the group around Maximian was enjoying imperial power, the only chronological indicator in Gregory of Nyssa's In Theodorum, may be identified on literary grounds as a scribal interpolation. When this is recognized, the Passio Theodori (BHG 1761) becomes the oldest evidence for the dating of Theodore's martyrdom.
