Dr Caitlin Green added,
Nicholas Brooks suggested this prob L6thC surviving British cult of a local St Sixtus was based at St Osyth, Essex, formerly known as Cice.
My ignorance (or bad memory!) why couldn't it be one of the several 'international' sixtuses. Is there an explicit mention of a local saint?
Brooks argues that nature of the request & response implies an otherwise-unknown, local British saint & cult :) In his Canterbury vol, fwiw.
Thanks for taking time, Caitlin. Always enjoy your twitter feed.
Thanks :) I can give you more if interested when back with my books, if of interest — think key point is that both St A~ & Pope G~ seem to >
> indicate that it's a cult A~ has encountered in Britain and that the St Sixtus in question is otherwise unknown to A & G :)
