| ID | Title | E00139 | Eusebius of Caesarea, in various passages in his Ecclesiastical History, refers to a collection of early martyrdom accounts he compiled, probably in the 290s or 300s; with references to *Pionios (martyr of Smyrna, S00031), *Karpos, Papylos, and Agathonike (martyrs of Pergamon, S00051), the *Martyrs of Lyon (S00316), and *Apollonios (martyr of Rome, S00106). Written in Greek in Palestine, in 311/325. | E00213 | Eusebius of Caesarea, in his Ecclesiastical History (5.21), summarises the martyrdom account of *Apollonius (martyr of Rome, S00106), an aristocrat martyred in Rome under Commodus (r. 176-92). The original account may have been a pamphlet written in Greek which Eusebius included in his collection of ancient martyrdoms, now lost. Written in Greek in Palestine, 311/325. | E00226 | The Greek Martyrdom of *Apollonios of Rome (martyr of Rome, S00106), of the late 2nd c., is reworked as the Martyrdom of the Apostle *Apollos, also called Sakkeas (Jewish convert and missionary in Ephesus, S00107), presenting Apollos as a martyr dying in Asia. Written in Greek, probably in the province of Asia (western Asia Minor), during Late Antiquity. |
