    The aim of the present note is to give path integral formulas for the solution of the Cauchy problem of the Dirac equation and the relativistic propagator in two space-time dimensions. They have a close analogy with the Feynman-Kac formula for the heat equation, but the countably additive path space measures constructed are other than the Wiener measure. The same method applies to a certain hyperbolic system of the first order.
