62 EPISTLES OF S. IGNATIUS.
The chapters which are given here have been preceded immediately (c. 31) by
a notice of the deaths of the Apostles John and Philip, who settled in Asia Minor.
Having thus, as he tells us, given an account of the Apostles and of the sacred
writings, genuine, disputed, or spurious, Eusebius proceeds to the subsequent history
(eirl TTiv rCov e^TjS wpoi'ujij.ev IffTopiav); and accordingly he commences this narrative of
the persecutions under Trajan.
They are followed immediately by brief notices of the succession of Euarestus
to Clement at Rome in the third year of Trajan (c. 34), and of Judas Justus to
Symeon at Jerusalem, no date being given for this latter event (c. 35). Upon this
notice follows the account of Ignatius and his writings (c. 36), which will be quoted
in a later chapter of this introduction.
The chronological inferences drawn from the sequence of these notices in Eusebius
are considered in their proper place (11. p. 448 sq).
