Acts of S. Ignatius, Ruinart, pp. 8, 9.

172

Ad Rom. iv.

173

Ἐκκλησίᾳ – ἥτις καὶ προκάθηται ἐν τότῳ χωρίου Ῥωμαίων – προκαθημένη τῆς ἀγάπης.

174

S. Chrysostom, Hom. on S. Ignatius, tom. ii. 600.

175

S. Ignatius in the 11th sec. of his epistle to the Smyrnæans requests them to send a messenger to congratulate the church of Antioch, ὅτι εἰρηνεύουσιν, καὶ ἀπέλαβον τὸ ἵδιον μέγαθος, ἀποκατεστάθη αὐτοῖς τὸ ἴδιον σωματεῖον. The word σωματεῖον, or corpusculum, indicates the completeness of a diocesan church with its bishop, the whole Church being σῶμα Χριστοῦ, as S. Ignatius had said in sec. I of the same epistle, ἐν ἑνὶ σώματι τῆς ἐκκλησίας αὐτοῦ.

176

There is some doubt about the time of S. Ignatius's martyrdom. We suppose it to be at the end of Trajan's reign. S. Alexander I. is reckoned a martyr, and placed in the canon of the Mass next after S. Ignatius, which seems to indicate a connection between their deaths.

177

So the persecution of Diocletian is said to have arisen from Apollo declaring that the just who were upon the earth prevented him from uttering true oracles; and a like answer was received by Julian the Apostate at Antioch, where the relics of S. Babylas had been translated by Gallus to Daphne, near a celebrated temple of Apollo. Here Julian, offering in vain a great number of sacrifices to the demon, was at length informed that the body of the saint condemned him to silence, and ordered the Christians to remove it. S. Chrys. tom. ii. 560.

178

Acts of S. Symphorosa, from Dom Ruinart, pp. 23-4.

179

Justin. 1 Apol. 1, 2.

180

Sec. 7.

181

Sec. 11.

182

Sec. 17.

183

Sec. 45.

184

Sec. 68. Chevallier's translation, sometimes altered.

185

Origen c. Cels. i. 3. Περὶ τοῦ κρύφα Χριστιανοὺς τὰ ἀρέσκοντα αὐτοῖς ποιεῖν καὶ διδάσκειν εἰπὼν, καὶ ὅτι οὐ μάτην τοῦτο ποιοῦσιν, ἅτε διωθούμενοι τὴν ἐπηρτημένην αὐτοῖς δίκην τοῦ θανάτου.

186

Σὲ τὸν καθωσιωμένον ὥσπερ ἄγαλμα αὐτῷ δήσας ἀπάγει καὶ ἀνασκολοπίζει. viii. 38, 39.

187

viii. 69; by this we should judge that the work of Celsus appeared not long after the punishment of the Jews by Hadrian.

188

Attached to Justin's first Apology.

189

See Trajan's remark to S. Ignatius: “You mean him that was crucified under Pontius Pilate.”

190

See the curious letter of Hadrian about the Alexandrians, in which the Christians spoken of are probably heretics.

191

They are first mentioned at Rome in the reign of Alexander Severus.

192

See Origen c. Cels. vii. 62.

193

See Trajan's question, “Who art thou who art zealous to transgress our commands, besides persuading others to come to an evil end?”

194

Αἷρε τοὺς ἀθέους.

195

The Roman legionary, if he wished to lay aside his helmet, was only allowed to go bareheaded.
