and interpreter of Peter wrote a short gospel at the request of the
brethren at Rome embodying what he had heard Peter tell. When Peter had
heard this, he approved it and published it to the churches to be read

composed, he went to Egypt and first preaching Christ at Alexandria he
formed a church so admirable in doctrine and continence of living that
