Several Writers, of whom nothing remains, and who were little known amongst the Ancients.
THERE lived at this time several Writers, whose Works were extant in Eusebius's time, who mentions these that follow, lib. 5. cap. 27. Heraclitus upon St. Paul; Some Books of * 1.1 Maximus upon that common Question among the Hereticks, From whence proceeds Evil; and About the Creation of Matter; The Commentaries of Appion, and of Candidus upon the Hexa∣meron; Sextus's Book concerning the Resurrection; A Treatise of one Arabianus, and the Writings of several others, whose time, says Eusebius, we are not able to find out, there being no Traces or Signs of it; and lastly, the Discourses of several Authors, whose Names we don't so much as know, who, though they were Oxthodox, and of the Church, as appears by their Explication of the Scriptures, yet they were for the most part unknown, and without reputation, because their Books carried not the Names of their respective Authors. To these we must add a certain Person named Judas, who Composed a Dissertation upon the Seventy Weeks of Daniel, wherein he has composed a Chronology that reaches down to the Tenth year of the Emperor Severus, and would persuade the World, that Anti-Christ was then at hand. So much had the persecution, raised against the Christians at that time, troubled the Church.
