Bishop of Carthage, Victor 6 sent a letter to pope Theodoros (Theodoros 49) condemning the monothelete heresy (cf. Mellosos 3, Redemptus 3 and Kriskentouros 1); a copy was read out at the Lateran Council in October 649, when Victor was still bishop of Carthage (cf. p. 96, line 12: τοῦ νυνὶ προεδρεύοντος τῆς Καρθαγεννησίων πόλεως, λέγω δὴ Βίκτωρος τοῦ ὁσιωτάτου): Conc.

Lat., p. 100, lines 1-5 with p. 101, lines 1-4 (the Latin text gives the date as the sixteenth of July - "die septimo decimo Kalendarum Augustarum indictionis quartae").
