"life has dominion over them

"That is why the dead, now under the dominion of one who has risen to life, are no longer dead but alive.  Therefore life has dominion over them. . . ."

"Igitur mortui quibus, qui vixit, dominatur, non sunt amplius mortui, sed viventes; et idcirco dominatur eis vita. . . ."

     Anastasius I of Antioch (d. 598), Oratio 5 de resurrectione Christi 6, as trans. in the Office of readings for the dead, Liturgy of the hours.  Latin (translation?) from PG 86, col. 1358C.  vixit is a challenging perfect here, but the reference is clearly to Rom 6:9, not to mention vv. 2, 8, 1-11, and 13, where vivo also occurs in the context of a discussion of the resurrection:

Therefore the dead over whom he has dominion who lives are no longer dead, but living; and for that reason life has dominion over them. . . .
