of philosopher, a citizen of Neapolis, a city of Palestine, and the son
of Priscus Bacchius, laboured strenuously in behalf of the religion of
Christ, insomuch that he delivered to Antoninus Pius and his sons and
the senate, a work written Against the nations, and did not shun
the ignominy of the cross. He addressed another book also to the
successors of this Antoninus, Marcus Antoninus Verus and Lucius
Aurelius Commodus. Another volume of his Against the nations, is
also extant, where he discusses the nature of demons, and a fourth
against the nations which he entitled, Refutation and yet
another On the sovereignty of God, and another book which he
entitled, Psaltes, and another On the Soul, the
Dialogue against the Jews, which he held against Trypho, the
leader of the Jews, and also notable volumes Against Marcion,
which Irenæus also mentions in the fourth book2421

fifth H 31 a e Fabr. and early editions; The right reference is
probably Bk. 4 ch. 10 but he himself is mentioned in book 5 and it is
likely Jerome wrote 5. | Against heresies, also another
book Against all heresies which he mentions in the
Apology which is addressed to Antoninus Pius. He, when he had
held διατριβάς
in the city of Rome, and had convicted Crescens the
cynic, who said many blasphemous things against the Christians, of
gluttony and fear of death, and had proved him devoted to luxury and
lusts, at last, accused of being a Christian, through the efforts and
wiles of Crescens, he shed his blood for Christ.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
