Chapter XIX.
Quadratus,2412
disciple of the apostles, after
Publius bishop of Athens had been crowned with martyrdom on account of
his faith in Christ, was substituted in his place, and by his faith and
industry gathered the church scattered by reason of its great fear. And
when Hadrian passed the winter at Athens to witness the Eleusinian
mysteries and was initiated into almost all the sacred mysteries of
Greece, those who hated the Christians took opportunity without
instructions from the Emperor to harass the believers. At this time he
presented to Hadrian a work composed in behalf of our religion,
indispensable, full of sound argument and faith and worthy of the
apostolic teaching. In which, illustrating the antiquity of his period,
he says that he has seen many who, oppressed by various
ills, were healed by the Lord in Judea as well as some who had been
raised from the dead.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
