HEGESIPPUS THE HISTORIAN egesippus, a near contemporary of the apostles ,1 compiled an account of ecclesiastical events, from the Passion of the Lord down to his own time,2 and assembled much data useful for his readers. He composed five books in a simple style3 calculated to express also the colloquial speech of the followers of the Christian life. 2. He said that he came to Rome in the time of Anicetus, who was the tenth bishop after Peter,4 and that he remained there down to the episcopacy of Eleutherus, who was formerly a deacon of Anicetus.5 3. Furthermore, in disputations against the idols6 he composed a history from the time when they first increased with their error, indicating by this the age in which he flourished.7 4. For he says, “To their dead they raised cenotaphs and shrines as we see until the present day, and among them is Antinous , a slave of Hadrian Caesar, in whose honor the Antinoan Games are held, and he also built a city called after Antinous, and instituted prophets for him in the temple.”8 5. Records show that Hadrian Caesar numbered Antinous among his favorites.9 notes 1. Eus., h.e. 2.23.3: ejpi; th'" prwvth" tw'n ajpostovlwn genovmeno" diadoch'"; h.e. 4.8.1–2, 4.8.22. See L.
