During November, 2011, I am writing my way through this creed.
I believe in God the Father Almighty (missing clause)
And in Jesus Christ (Christ) his only-begotten Son our Lord
Who was born of the Holy Ghost (pneumatos) and the virgin Mary
Crucified under Pontius Pilate, and buried;
The third day he rose from the dead;
He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father;
From there he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
And in the Holy Ghost;
The holy church;
The forgiveness of sins
The resurrection of the body;
(Life aioniov)
Professio fidei Marcelli Ancyrani - tqpre AD 341
From Schaff:
The Greek text is to be found in Epiphanius, Hæres. LXXII.Opp.ed. Petav. Tom. I. p. 836; ed. Oehler in Corp. hæreseol. Tom. II. Pt. III. p. 52. It was inserted in a letter written by Marcellus of Ancyra to Julius I., Bishop of Rome, about 341 (or 337,as Hahn and Caspari assume), with a view to prove his orthodoxy against the Eusebians, who, under the impeachment of heresy, had previously deposed him. (As regards the chronology, see Zahn, Marcellus von Ancyra, Gotha, 1867, p. 68.) It occurs also, in Anglo-Saxon letters, in the Psaltery of King Athelstan (d. 941), to which Ussher first called attention. See a facsimile in Heurtley, p. 80, and the copy and comments in Caspari, Vol. III. pp. 5 sqq. The Greek text of Marcellus differs from the Latinof Rufinus only by the omission of the predicate πατέρα (Father) in the first article (which may be an error of the copyist), and by the addition of the last two words, ζωὴναἰώνιον (which occur also in the creed of Petrus Chrysologus of Ravenna). It was heretofore regarded as a translation of the Roman Creed, but Caspari, with a vast amount of learning (Vol. III. pp. 28 sqq.), has made it almost certain that it is the original Creed of the Roman Church, in which the Greek language prevailed during the first two centuries. It was probably transplanted to Rome from Asia Minor early in the second century. It is simpler and older than the rules of faith of Tertullian and Irenæus.
