Soter, Fundis in Campánia natus, sancívit ne sacræ vírgines vasa sacra et pallas attingerent, neve thuris ministerio in ecclésia uteréntur. Idem státuit ut Christi corpus in Cna Dómini sumerétur ab ómnibus, iis exceptis, qui propter grave peccátum id fácere prohiberéntur. Sedit in pontificatu annos tres, menses undecim, dies decem et octo. Martyrio coronátur sub Marco Aurelio imperatóre, et in cmeterio, quod póstea Callísti dictum est, sepelitur ; more majórum mense Decembri creátis presbyteris decem et octo, diáconis novem, epíscopis per diversa loca undecim.
Soter, a countryman of Fondi in Campania, succeeded the holy martyr Anicetus. It was he who ordained that nuns should not touch the sacred vessels and linen of the Altar, nor serve with the incense in the Church. He ordained likewise, that on the anniversary of the Lord's Supper, every one should receive the Body of Christ, except those who were forbidden to do so on account of grievous sin. He sat as Pope three years, eleven months, and twenty-eight days. He ordained in the month of December eighteen priests, nine deacons, and eleven bishops for divers places. He was crowned with martyrdom under the Emperor Marcus Aurélius, and was buried after the manner of them that had gone before him, in the Cemetery, which was afterwards called that of St. Callistus.
