5.22.1
XXII. Δεκάτῳ γε μὴν τῆς Κομόδου βασιλείας ἔτει δέκα πρὸς τρισὶν ἔτεσιν τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν λελειτουργηκότα Ἐλεύθερον διαδέχεται διαδέχεται ἐν ᾧ καὶ Ἰουλιανοῦ δέκατον ἔτος ἀποπλήσαντος, τῶν κατ’ Ἀλεξάνδρειαν παροικιῶν τὴν λειτουργίαν ἐγχειρίζεται Δημήτριος· καθ’ οὓς καὶ τῆς Ἀντιοχέων - χέων ἐκκΛησίας ὄγδοος ἀπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων ὁ πρόσθεν ἤδη δεδηλωμένος ἔτι τότε Σεραπίων ἐπίσκοπος ἐγνωρίζετο. Καισαρείας δὲ τῆς Παλαιστίνων Θεόφιλος, καὶ Νάρκισσος δὲ ὁμοίως, οὗ καὶ πρόσθεν ὁ λόγος μνήμην ἐποιήσατο, τῆς ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἐκκλησίας ἔτι τότε τὴν λειτουργίαν εἶχεν, Κορίνθου δὲ τῆς καθ’ Ἑλλάδα κατὰ τοὺς αὐτοὺς ἐπίσκοπος ἦν Βάκχυλλος καὶ τῆς ἐν Ἐφέσω παροικίας Πολυκράτης. καὶ ἄλλοι δ’, ὥς γε εἰκός, ἐπὶ τούτοις μυρίοι κατὰ τούσδε διέπρεπον· ὧν γε μὴν ἔγγραφος ἡ τῆς πίστεως εἰς ἡμᾶς κατῆλθεν ὀρθοδοξία, τούτους εἰκότως ὀνομαστὶ κατελέξαμεν.
XXII. In the tenth year of the reign of Commodus, Victor succeeded Eleutherus, who had served in the episcopate thirteen years. In the same year Julian had completed his tenth year, and Demetrius was appointed to the administration of the Alexandrian dioceses; and at the same time the famous Serapion, whom we mentioned before, was bishop of the church of Antioch, and the eighth from the apostles. Theophilus ruled Caesarea in Palestine, and Narcissus, whom our work had mentioned before, still held the administration of the church at Jerusalem; and at the same time Bacchyllus was bishop of Corinth in Greece, and Polycrates of the diocese of Ephesus. There were also, of course, countless other famous men at this time, but we have naturally given the names of those the orthodoxy of whose faith has been preserved to us in writing.
