Apollinarius, Against the Heathen / On Piety / On Truth
The work of Apollinarius against the Greeks, on religion, and on truth, has been read by me. The author is a man of Hierapolis, having become bishop of Hierapolis in Asia; he flourished under Marcus Antoninus Verus, emperor of the Romans. The man is notable, and employs a notable style. Other memoirs of his, worth mentioning, are said to exist, which we have not yet come upon.
Greek
Ἀνεγνώσθη ΑΠΟΛΙΝΑΡΙΟΥ πρὸς Ἕλληνας καὶ περὶ εὐσεβείας καὶ περὶ ἀληθείας. ἔστι δὲ Ἱεραπολίτης ὁ συγγραφεύς, τῆς ἐν Ἀσίᾳ Ἱεραπολέως γεγονὼς ἐπίσκοπος· ἤνθησε δὲ ἐπὶ Μάρκου Ἀντωνίνου Βήρου βασιλέως Ῥωμαίων. ἀξιόλογος δὲ ὁ ἀνὴρ καὶ φράσει ἀξιολόγῳ κεχρημένος. λέγεται δὲ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἕτερα συγγράμματα ἀξιομνημόνευτα εἶναι, οἷς οὔπω ἡμεῖς ἐνετύχομεν.
