Quotation Docebat enim idem euthicius corpus nostrum in illa resurrectionis gloria inpalpabile et uentis aeriquesubtilius esse futurum, contra illud dominicum palpate et uidete, quia spiritus carnem et ossa non habet, sicut me uidetis habere. Gens langobardorum comitante fame et mortalitate omnem inuadit italiam ipsamque romanam uastatrix obsidet urbem, quibus tempore illo rex praeerat albuinus. Iiiimdlvii. Mauricius an. xxi.
Translation For Eutychius had taught that our bodies will be impalpable in the glory of resurrection, and will be more subtle than winds and air; contrary to [what] the Lord [said]:Touch me and see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones in the way that you see I have. The plundering people of the Lombards, accompanied by famine and plague, seized hold of all Italy, and besieged the city of Rome; at this time King Alboin was pre-eminent. Maurice [ruled for] 21 years. (Trans. Faith, pp. 225-6)
