Γιὰ τὴν περίπτωση αὐτή, ὁ Σ. Εὐστρατιάδης στὸ Ἁγιολόγιό του, γράφει τὰ ἑξῆς: «Λέξις λατινικὴ (indictio) ὁρισμὸν σημαίνουσα καθ’ ὂν κατὰ δεκαπενταετὴ περίοδον ἐπληρώνοντο εἰς τοὺς αὐτοκράτορας τῶν Ρωμαίων οἱ φόροι. Κατὰ τὴν ἐκκλησιαστικὴν παράδοσιν, τὴν ἀρχὴν τῆς ἰνδικτιῶνος εἰσήγαγεν ὁ Αὔγουστος Καῖσαρ (1 – 14), ὄτε διέταξε τὴν γενικὴν τῶν κατοίκων τοῦ Ρωμαϊκοῦ κράτους ἀπογραφὴν καὶ τὴν εἴσπραξιν τῶν φόρων, κατὰ τὴν πρώτην τοῦ Σεπτεμβρίου μηνός. Ἀπὸ τοῦ Μεγάλου Κωνσταντίνου (313) ἐγένετο ἐπισήμως χρῆσις τῆς Ἰνδικτιῶνος ὡς χρονολογίας. Ἔκτοτε δὲ ἡ ἐκκλησία Κωνσταντινουπόλεως μέχρι τοῦ νῦν ἑορτάζει τὴν 1η Σεπτεμβρίου ὡς ἀρχὴν τοῦ ἐκκλησιαστικοῦ ἔτους».If you like our project and you are satisfied with our work and effort, please consider making a donation that would help us to survive on the Internet and in further development of the project.
