Epistle to Diognetus
xiii. to be an interpolation
The date of the Epistle cannot be satisfactorily determined. It depends on the conclusion we reach as to some points, very difficult and obscure, connected with that account of the martyrdom of Polycarp which has come down to us. We shall not, however, probably be far wrong if we fix it about the middle of the second century. polycarp epistle_to_the_philippians anf01 polycarp-epistle_to_the_philippians Epistle to the Philippians
