Sixtus I. war etwa von 115 bis zu seinem Tode Bischof von Rom und wird als Priester und Märtyrer bezeichnet. Biografische Daten sind nicht überliefert. Er gilt als Römer und wird erstmals in der Papstliste des Irenäus von Lyon erwähnt. Der katholische Gedenktag des Sixtus ist der 3. April. Größere Verehrung als Heiliger genoss schon früh der Märtyrer Sixtus II. Sein Name bedeutet: Sxtus = der Sechste bzw. Xystos = der Geglättete . Wikipedia

As quoted in On Nature and Grace, Ch. 77, by Augustine of Hippo, as translated by Peter Holmes, Robert Ernest Wallis and Benjamin B Warfield in A Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 5 (1887), edited by Philip Schaf, p. 148
The quote above is actually from a Pythagorean philosopher. Pelagius attributed the quote to Pope Sixtus, and Augustine followed his lead until he discovered the error. Augustine himself corrects the source of the quote in the "Retractations" section of his book.
