<p> <b> [[Pontius]] (2), </b> Mark 8, a deacon of Carthage. We know him only from his <i> Vita Cypriani </i> , prefixed to all editions of St. Cyprian's works. He was chosen by [[Cyprian]] to accompany him into exile to Curubis (cc. xi. and xii.; cf. Dodwell's <i> Dissertationes Cyprianicae </i> , iv. 21). The <i> Vita </i> is evidently an authentic record. Its style is rugged, and in places very obscure; yet presents all internal marks of truth and antiquity. It uses all the correct technical terms of [[Roman]] criminal law, and refers to all the usual forms observed in criminal trials.
