as his practice elsewhere would demand. But I suppose that Eusebius omitted any express mention of this use, because he had meant his words to be understood of the Apocalypse, when, speaking of the Chiliastic doctrine of Papias higher up, he said that this father 'had mistaken the Apostolic statements,' and 'had not comprehended what was said by them mystically and in figurative language' [Greek: en hupodeigmasi]. [215:1] [See above, pp. 36 sq, 46.] [215:2] These persons are discussed at great length by Epiphanius (_Haer._ li.), who calls them _Alogi_. They are mentioned also, with special reference to the Gospel, by Irenaeus (iii. 11. 9). Hippolytus wrote a work 'In defence of the Gospel and Apocalypse of John,' which was apparently directed against them. It may be suspected that Epiphanius is largely indebted to this work for his refutation of them. [216:1] _Einleitung_ p. 67; comp. p. 733 sq. [216:2] Euseb. _H.E._ vii. 25. Gaius the Roman Presbyter, who wrote about A.D. 220, is often cited as an earlier instance. I gave reasons some years ago for suspecting that the Dialogue bearing this name was really written by Hippolytus (_Journal of Philology_, I. p. 98, 1868); and I have not seen any cause since to change this opinion. But whether this be so or not, the words of Gaius reported by Eusebius (_H.E._ iii. 28) seem to be wrongly interpreted as referring to the Apocalypse. [The important discovery of Prof. Gwynn (_Hermathena_, vol. VI. p. 397 sq, 1888), showing as it does, that there was a Gaius different from Hippolytus, does not allow me to speak now as I spoke in 1875 about the identity of Gaius the Roman presbyter and Hippolytus.] [217:1] See above, p. 89 sq. [217:2] Iren. ii. 22. 5; iii. 3. 4. [218:1] See above, p. 189. [218:2] Clem. Alex. _Strom._ i. 1 (p. 322) [Greek: ho men epi tes Hellados, ho Ionikos]. [218:3] Clem. Alex. _Quis div. salv._ 42, p. 959. [218:4] Iren. ii. 22. 5. [218:5] Iren. iii. 3. 4. [218:6] Iren. v. 30. 1. [218:7] Iren. v. 33. 3. [218:8] _Ep. ad Flor._ in Euseb. _H.E._ v. 20. See above, p. 96. [218:9] Iren. iv. 26. 2. [218:10] Iren. v. 5. 1. [220:1] See above, pp. 89 sq, 142 sq. [220:2] _Martyr. Polyc._ Sec. 1. [221:1] _Martyr. Polyc._ Sec. 6 [Greek: ho kekleromenos to auto onoma, Herodes epilegomenos], where [Greek: kekleromenos] (not [Greek: kai kleronomos]) is the right reading, 'who chanced to have the same name,' _i.e._, with the tyrant of
