Historia Ecclesiastica

Book IV, Chapter 25. Philip and Modestus

1 section

Eusebius of Caesarea

Philip who, as we learn from the words of Dionysius, was bishop of the parish of Gortyna, likewise wrote a most elaborate work against Marcion, as did also Irenæus and Modestus. The last named has exposed the error of the man more clearly than the rest to the view of all. There are a number of others also whose works are still preserved by a great many of the brethren.
