Minus the rib that was returned to Pavia in 1866 and placed in its
"gothic" church of San Francesco Grande, shown here:

Later, a piece of this rib was also deposited in one of the city's
famous "romanesque" churches, San Michele, shown here:

and shown and described here (Italian-language):

San Michele is also home to the gravestone of the late antique
ecclesiastical writer Ennodius, whose Vita of Epiphanius (BHL 2570) is
our chief source for the latter. The product of a skilled rhetorician,
it is a good read in the original Latin. Christian Rohr (Salzburg) has
a handy bibliography on it:

and a bibliography of collected editions of Ennodius' works:
