Note 640 — Chapter II · THE SAINTS’ DAYS (continued 2)
Reading edition
There is no explanation of the entry on the 24th June, “VIII. Kal. Jul. Natalis dormitionis S. Joannis Apost. et Evang. in Epheso.” The view of those who ascribed the death of a martyr to St John on the grounds of St Mark x. 39 has never found much support. See Schanz, Kommentar zu Joh., 332.
