	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Saint Symmachus
		Theodoric pronouncing in favour of Symmachus on the ground that he was elected first and by the majority of the clergy, Laurentius submitted to the decision.
		Symmachus desired to go from St. Peter's to the synod in order to defend himself, but on the way there he was attacked by his opponents and maltreated, and, escaping only with great difficulty, returned to St. Peter's; several priests who were with him were killed or severely wounded.

		The clergy gathered at the Lateran on November 22, 498, and elected Symmachus.
		Symmachus, a Sardinian who had been baptized at Rome and had been a deacon there, took steps to prevent a recurrence of the trouble.
		The patient Pope was gradually winning back the adherents of Lawrence when Theodoric changed his mind, and by withdrawing his support from the schismatics, put an end to the matter.

	Pope Symmachus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Symmachus, Roman Catholic Pope from 498 to 514, had Anastasius II for his predecessor and was himself followed by Hormisdas.
		A decision was not long afterwards obtained in favor of Symmachus from Theodoric, to whom the dispute had been referred; but peace was not established until 505 or 506, when the Gothic king ordered the Laurentian party to surrender the churches of which they had taken possession.
		An important incident in the protracted controversy was the decision of the "palmary synod." The remainder of the pontificate of Symmachus was uneventful; history speaks of various churches in Rome as having been built or beautified by him.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope St. Hormisdas
		Under Pope Symmachus (498-514) Hormisdas held the office of deacon of the Roman Church and during the schism of Laurentius he was one of the most prominent clerical attendants of Symmachus.
		The pope's embassy to the imperial court consisted of two bishops, Ennodius of Pavia and Fortunatus of Catina, the priest Venantius, the deacon Vitalis, and the notary Hilarius.
		The patriach and the pope's legates opposed the demand that this formula should be embodied as a dogma of the Church.

		These ordinances were not, however, in any sense the source of the pope's jurisdiction, which rested on Divine institution; they were civil sanctions enabling the pope to avail himself of the civil machinery of the empire in discharging the duties of his office.
		The disturbances which occurred at the disputed election of Symmachus (498) led that pope to hold a council and to decree the severest penalties on all who should be guilty of canvassing or bribery in order to attain the pontificate.

	Symmachian Forgeries
		The Symmachian Forgeries were devised by the supporters of Symmachus, bishop of Rome, in his contention with Laurentius over the bishopric of Rome in the early sixth century.
