Jerome, Chronicon, AD 68, 14th year of Nero (Oct. 67–Oct. 68): "After Peter, Linus first held the church of Rome for 11 years." Jerome's work is a translation of Eusebius' Chronicon, which actually uses a calendar that begins in 3 October, hence why Nero's accession is dated to 55 (instead of 54). See Burgess, R. W. (1999). Studies in Eusebian and Post-Eusebian Chronography. Franz Steiner Verlag. pp. 22–24. ISBN 978-3-515-07530-5.
Loomis 2006, p. 4, note 3. "Our author gives two incompatible traditions, the first that Peter did not come to Rome before the reign of Nero, the second that after a pontificate of twenty-five years at Rome he was put to death under Nero. The latter is Jerome version". Loomis, Louise Ropes (2006) [1917]. The Book of the Popes (Liber Pontificalis). Arx Publishing, LLC. ISBN 978-1-889758-86-2. (Ends with Pope Pelagius II, 579–90; English translation with scholarly footnotes and illustrations).
