Note 277 — Chapter II · THE ALEXANDRIAN DIVINITIES (continued 2)
Reading edition
Vopiscus, Saturninus (Hist. August. Scriptor. VI. t. II. pp. 718-730). The authenticity of the letter has been defended by Lightfoot, Apostolic Fathers, 1891, I. p. 481. The date is fairly well fixed by the death of Antinous in 122 A.D., and Hadrian’s visit to Syria a few years later. Ramsay (Church in Roman Empire, 1903, p. 336) makes it 134 A.D.
