CHRYSIPPUS.
THE Time when CHRYSIPPUS, a Priest of Jerusalem liv'd, is not certainly known, yet it is most probable that he flourish'd in the Fifth Age. We find in the * 1.1 Bibliotheca Patrum a * 1.2 Sermon in Commendation of the Virgin, under his Name, which con∣tains many extraordinary Praises of her, like to those used in the Litanies. Photius tells us in the 171st. Volume of his Bibliotheca, That he had found in a Book, where was a Treatise of † 1.3 Eustathius, a Priest of Constantinople, concerning the estate of Souls after Death; a Piece, where it was related, That Gamaliel, and Nicodemus, who was his Father-in-Law (as it is there said) were baptiz'd by S. John, and did suffer Martyrdom. He adds, That this History was attributed to Chrysippus, a Priest of Jerusalem, who in his * 1.4 Panegyrick of Theodorus Martyr, makes mention of Lucian a Priest of the same Church, and that this last lived in the Time that John was Bishop of Jerusalem, to whom Gamaliel had related this Story, and shewed him the Place where the Relicks of S. Stephen and Nicodemus were, which, being found, had done many Miracles.
