Note 1 — Chapter III · PAPIAS AND JUSTIN MARTYR.

The quotations from Papias are from Vol. I, of the Ante-Nicene Christian Library, translated by Rev. Alexander Roberts, D.D., and James Donaldson, LL.D.; and so in respect to any of the Apostolic Fathers. The editors say the words, “Which things, etc.,” are usually translated, “What Aristion and John say,” and that such translation is admissible, but that they more naturally mean that John and Aristion, even at the time of Justin’s writing, were telling him of the sayings of the Lord.
