Chapter LXIII.
Julius Africanus,2477
whose five volumes On
Chronology, are yet extant, in the reign of Marcus Aurelius
Antoninus, who succeeded Macrinus, received a commission to restore the
city of Emmaus, which afterwards was called Nicopolis. There is an
epistle of his to Origen, On the question of Susanna, where it
is contended that this story is not contained in the Hebrew, and is not
consistent with the Hebrew etymology in respect of the play on
“prinos and prisai,” “schinos and schisai.” In
reply to this, Origen wrote a learned epistle. There is extant another
letter of his, To Aristides, in which he discusses at length the
discrepancies, which appear in the genealogy of our Saviour, as
recorded by Matthew and Luke.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
