, ordained bishop of Antioch in the
eleventh year of the emperor Commodus, wrote a letter to Caricus and
Pontius on the heresy of Montanus, in which
he said “that you may know moreover that the madness of this
false doctrine, that is the doctrine of a new prophecy, is
reprobated by all the world, I have sent to you the letters of the most
holy Apollinaris bishop of Hierapolis in Asia.” He wrote a volume
also to Domnus, who in time of persecution went over to the Jews, and
another work on the gospel which passes under the name of Peter, a work
to the church of the Rhosenses in Cilicia who by the reading of this
book had turned aside to heresy. There are here and there short letters
of his, harmonious in character with the ascetic life of their
author.
