Note 1 — BOOK IX NOETUS, CALLISTUS, AND OTHERS
Francis Legge translation
ἡ καινὴ ἐπιδημία. The book Elchesai, as will presently be seen, is said to have been revealed “in the third year of Trajan” and therefore long anterior to our text. Hippolytus, therefore, probably refers here to a recrudescence of the superstition connected therewith.
