Chapter VI.—Polycarp is betrayed by a
servant.
And when those who sought for him were at
hand, he departed to another dwelling, whither his pursuers immediately
came after him. And when they found him not, they seized upon two youths
[that were there], one of whom, being subjected to torture, confessed. It
was thus impossible that he should continue hid, since those that
betrayed him were of his own household. The Irenarch429
then
(whose office is the same as that of the Cleronomus430
| 430 Some think that those magistrates bore
this name that were elected by lot. | ), by name Herod, hastened
to bring him into the stadium. [This all
happened] that he might fulfil his special lot, being made a partaker of
Christ, and that they who betrayed him might undergo the punishment of
Judas himself.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
