| ID | Title | E00453 | The Greek Life of *Polykarpos (bishop and martyr of Smyrna, S00004) recounts the life and miracles of Polykarpos/Polycarp, describing him as a holy man and miracle worker, without referring to his martyrdom. Written in Smyrna (western Asia Minor), in the 3rd/4th c. | E00487 | The Greek Life of Polykarpos, of the 3rd or early 4th c., mentions the burial of *Boukolos (bishop of Smyrna, 2nd c., S00314) and of *Thraseas (bishop of Eumeneia, martyred in Smyrna, S00271) in the same cemetery. After the burial of Thraseas, a myrtle tree grows, perhaps regarded as a miracle; the text also mentions a memorial service, most probably the Eucharist, held after the burial of Boukolos. Written in Smyrna (western Asia Minor). |
