Again, if there's a mistake, it is on the part of Baring-Gould, for I
have checked him again and he gives the date as 847; he also mentions
another incident in Methodius' life in 842. Leo, as you say, died in
741. Possibly Methodius fled from the continuing persecution, some
time after Leo's death.
