[166:1] Milman says: "Excepting of Ignatius, probably of Simeon of Jerusalem, there is no authentic martyrdom in the reign of Trajan." -- Hist. of Christianity, 1867, ii., p. 103 note.

[169:4] Ignatius v. Ant., p. 66, anm. 3.

[170:1] I need not refer to the statement of Nicephorus that these relics were first brought from Rome to Constantinople and afterwards translated to Antioch.

[170:2] Ruinart, Acta Mart., pp. 59, 69.

[170:3] Ignatius v. Ant., p. 68.

[171:1] Ruinart, Acta Mart., p. 56. Baronius makes the anniversary of the martyrdom 1st February, and that of the translation 17th December. Mart. Rom., p. 87, p. 766 ff.

[171:2] Ignatius v. Ant., p. 27, p. 68, anm. 2.

[171:3] There is no sufficient evidence for the statement that in Chrysostom's time the day dedicated to Ignatius was in June. The mere allusion, in a Homily delivered in honour of Ignatius, that "recently" the feast of Sta. Pelagia (in the Latin Calendar 9th June) had been celebrated, by no means justifies such a conclusion and there is nothing else to establish it.

[171:4] Wann wurden, u.s.w., p. 22.

[171:5] Ouden me ôphelêsei ta perata tou kosmou, oude at Basileiai tou aiônos toutou. Kalon moi apothanein dia Christon Iêsoun, ê Basileuein tôn peratôn tês gês. Ti gar ôpheleitai anthrôpos, ean kerdêsê ton kosmon holon, tên de psychên autou zêmiôthê; c. 6.

[172:2] Dr. Lightfoot omits the supposed quotation from his text of the Epistle -- Apost. Fathers, p. 122. Dr. Westcott does not refer to the passage at all.

[172:3] Bebaptismenon hupo Iôannon, hina plêrosê pasan diksiosunên hyp' alto, k.t.l. c. 1.

[172:4] Outôs gar prepon estin hêmin plêrôsai pasan dikaiosunên.

[175:1] Adv. Haer., 3:3 § 4; cf. Eusebius, H. E., 5:20.

[175:2] In the Mart. Polycarpi (c. 9) he is represented as declaring that he had served Christ eighty-six years.

[175:3] Mart. Polycarpi, c. 21.

[175:4] Waddington, Mém. de l'Inst. imp. de France, Acad. des Inscript. et Belles Lettres, T. 26, 1 Part., 1867, p. 232 ff.; cf. Fastes des Provinces Asiatiques, 1872, 1 Part., p. 219 ff. It should be mentioned, however, that in A.D. 167 there was a Consul of the name of Ummidius Quadratus (Waddington, l.c., p. 238). Wieseler and Keim reject M. Waddington's conclusions, and adhere to the later date.

Zeugnisse, p. 41 ff.; Volkmar, Der Ursprung, p. 44 ff. Schwegler and Hilgenfeld consider the insertion of this phrase, reported to have been actually used in Rome against Marcion, as proof of the inauthenticity of the Epistle. They argue that the well-known saying was employed to give an appearance of reality to the forgery. In any case, it shows that the Epistle cannot have been written earlier than the second half of the second century.

[177:3] Schwegler, Das nachap. Zeit., ii., p. 158; Hilgenfeld, Die ap. Väter, p. 273; Ritschl., Enst. altk. Kirche, p. 402 f.; Scholten, Die. ält. Zeugnisse, p. 42. It has been pointed out that, in the superscription, Polycarp is clearly distinguished, as Bishop, from the Presbyters of Smyrna: Polykarpos kai oi syn auto presbyteroi. Dorner, Lehre Pers. Christi, 1851, i., p. 172 f. anm.; Rothe, Anfänge chr. Kirche, 1837, i., p. 408 f. anm. 107, 108; Hilgenfeld, 1. c.; Ritschl., 1. c.
