[MarMema]

In the Office of Pope St. Sylvester in the Byzantine Liturgy, we read: "Thou hast shown thyself the supreme one of the Sacred Council, O initiator into the sacred mysteries, and hast illustrated the Throne of the Supreme One of the Disciples."

This is not our liturgy.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

Father Sylvester....thou didst appear as a pillar of fire, snatching the faithful from the Egyptian error [the Arian heresy] and continually leading them with unerring teachings to divine light.

As the divine corphyaeous...thou hast established the most holy dogma, stopping the impious mouths of heretics.

O Sylvester, thou didst scatter the whole body of the enemy warring against the preaching of the apostles.

Tongues that accorded together in error were brought to nought, O Wise One, by the power of the Divine Spirit that wrought in thee and in one doxology to God the choirs of the faithful were united....

Thou hast shown thyself the supreme one of the Sacred Council, O initiator into the sacred mysteries, and hast illustrated the Throne of the Supreme One of the Disciples.
