Melito2422
of Asia, bishop
of Sardis, addressed a book to the emperor Marcus Antoninus Verus, a
disciple of Fronto the orator, in behalf of the Christian doctrine. He
wrote other things also, among which are the following: On the
passover, two books, one book On the lives of the prophets,
one book On the church,2423

another which is called the Key—one On the devil,
one On the Apocalypse of John, one On the corporeality of
God, and six books of Eclogues. Of his fine oratorical
genius, Tertullian, in the seven books which he wrote against the
church on behalf of Montanus, satirically says that he was considered a
prophet by many of us.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
