Now concerning those bishops which have been ordained in our lifetime, we let you know that they are these:\u2014James the bishop of Jerusalem, the brother of our Lord; 3535 upon whose death the second was Simeon the son of Cleopas; after whom the third was Judas the son of James. Of C\u00e6sarea of Palestine, the first was p. 478 Zacch\u00e6us, who was once a publican; after whom was Cornelius, and the third Theophilus. Of Antioch, Euodius, ordained by me Peter; and Ignatius by Paul. Of Alexandria, Annianus was the first, ordained by Mark the evangelist; the second Avilius by Luke, who was also an evangelist. Of the church of Rome, Linus the son of Claudia was the first, ordained by Paul; 3536 and Clemens, after Linus\u2019 death, the second, ordained by me Peter. 3537 Of Ephesus, Timotheus, ordained by Paul; and John, by me John. Of Smyrna, Aristo the first; after whom Strat\u00e6as the son of Lois; 3538 and the third Aristo. Of Pergamus, Gaius. Of Philadelphia, Demetrius, by me. Of Cenchrea, Lucius, by Paul. Of Crete, Titus. Of Athens, Dionysius. Of Tripoli in Ph\u0153nicia, Marathones. Of Laodicea in Phrygia, Archippus. 3539 Of Coloss\u00e6, Philemon. 3540 Of Borea in Macedonia, Onesimus, once the servant of Philemon. 3541 Of the churches of Galatia, Crescens. 3542 Of the parishes of Asia, Aquila and Nicetas. Of the church of \u00c6gin\u00e6, Crispus. These are the bishops who are entrusted by us with the parishes in the Lord; whose doctrine keep ye always in mind, and observe our words. And may the Lord be with you now, and to endless ages, as Himself said to us when He was about to be taken up to His own God and Father. For says He, \u201cLo, I am with you all the days, until the end of the world. Amen.\u201d 3543\n[An incidental proof of the early origin of this compilation is furnished by the clear distinction it makes between James the son of Alph\u00e6us and James the brother of our Lord.
