Appendices ad indices apostolorum discipulorumque 126 Τιμόθεος ὁ ἐπίσκοπος Ἐφέσου κατασταθεὶς ὑπὸ τοῦ μακαρίου Παύλου ἐξ ἐθνῶν ἦν, οὐκ ἐκ περιτομῆς, ᾧ καὶ πολλὰ μαρτυρεῖ Παῦλος νουθετῶν τὴν καλὴν ὁμολογίαν τοῦ δοθέντος αὐτῷ χαρίσματος φυλάξαι, ὃς καὶ ἐνδόξως ἐκεῖ ἐμαρτύρησεν. 127 Τίτος ἐπίσκοπος Κρήτης αὐτοῖς τοῖς Κρησὶ καὶ ταῖς πέριξ νήσοις ἐκήρυξε τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ κυρίου κἀκεῖ θανὼν ἐτάφη. Κρήσκης ἐν Γαλλίαις ἐκήρυξε τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ κυρίου κἀκεῖ θάπτεται. Ὁ εὐνοῦχος Κανδάκης τῆς βασιλίσσης Αἰθιόπων ἐν Ἀραβίᾳ τῇ εὐδαίμονι καὶ ἐν Ταπροβάνῃ νήσῳ καὶ ἐν ὅλῃ τῇ ἐρυθρᾷ ἐκήρυξε τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ κυρίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, λόγος δὲ ἔχει καὶ μεμαρτυρηκέναι αὐτὸν ἐνδόξως καὶ ταφῆναι ἐκεῖ· καί ἐστιν αὐτοῦ τὸ κοιμητήριον ὅπλον ἀκαταμάχητον τοῖς πιστοῖς ἀλιτηρίων βαρβάρων, φυγαδευτήριον νόσους ἀπελαῦνον καὶ ἰάματα ἐνεργοῦν ἕως καὶ σήμερον.
