ition of 1853. [369:2] Wordsworth has remarked that in the "Philosophumena" of Hippolytus we have some of the lost text of Irenaeus. St Hippolytus, p. 15. [369:3] Such is the testimony of Jerome. See Cave's "Life of Irenaeus." [369:4] Euseb. "Hist." iii. 39. [369:5] Irenaeus adopted the millenarianism of Papias. [370:1] This is evident from his own statements. See his "Apology," c. 18, and "De Spectaculis," c. 19. The references to Tertullian in this work are either to the edition of Oehler of 1853, or to that of Rigaltius of 1675. [370:2] According to some the population of Carthage at this time amounted to hundreds of thousands. "The intercourse between Carthage and Rome, on account of the corn trade alone, was probably more regular and rapid than with any other part of the Empire."--_Milman's Latin Christianity_, i. p. 47. [370:3] See Euseb. ii. 2, 25. [370:4] Such is the testimony of Jerome, who asserts farther that the treatment he received from the clergy of Rome induced him to leave that city. [370:5] Such as the tracts "De Pallio" and "De Jejuniis." [371:1] As a choice specimen of his vituperative ability his denunciation of Marcion may be quoted--"Sed nihil tam barbarum ac triste apud Pontum quam quod illic Marcion natus est, Scythia tetrior, Hamaxobio instabilior, Massageta inhumanior, Amazona audacior, nubilo obscurior, hieme frigidior, gelu fragilior, Istro fallacior, Caucaso abruptior."--_Adversus Marcionem_, lib. i. c. 1. [371:2] Victor of Rome, who was contemporary with Tertullian, is said to have written in Latin, but the extant letters ascribed to him are considered spurious. [372:1] Such, according to Jerome, was the practice of Cyprian. [372:2] He is supposed to have died at an advanced age, but the date of his demise cannot be accurately determined. Most of his works were written between A.D. 194 and A.D. 217. [372:3] The part of the work "Adversus Judaeos," from the beginning of the ninth chapter, is taken chiefly from the third book of the Treatise against Marcion, and has apparently been added by another hand. [374:1] "Admonitio ad Gentes," Opera, p. 69. Edit. Coloniae, 1688. [374:2] "Stromata," book v. [374:3] See Kaye's "Clement of Alexandria," p. 378. [374:4] Period II. sec. i. chap. v. p. 344. [375:1] Prudentius. See Wordsworth's "Hippolytus," p. 106-112. [377:1] He had acted literally as described, Matt, xix. 12. [377:2] Euseb. vi. 3. [377:3
