Acts I.26: et dederunt sortes eis et cecidit sors super Matthiam et adnumeratus est cum undecim apostolis ‘and they gave them lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles’, and Brev. 4/29-30: Mathias ... pro Iuda Scarioth duodecimus inter apostolos subrogatus, electus sorte ‘Matthias ... substituted for Judas Iscariot as the twelfth among the Apostles, was chosen by lot’.
