[105:1] Dean Milman says: "Trajan, indeed, is absolved, at least by the almost general voice of antiquity, from the crime of persecuting the Christians." In a note he adds: "Excepting of Ignatius, probably of Simeon of Jerusalem, there is no authentic martyrdom in the reign of Trajan."--_Hist. of Christianity_, 1867, ii. p. 103.

[111:1] I need not refer to the statement of Nicephorus that these relics were first brought from Rome to Constantinople and afterwards translated to Antioch.

[112:3] Ruinart, _Acta Mart._ p. 56. Baronius makes the anniversary of the martyrdom 1st February, and that of the translation 17th December.

[112:5] There is no sufficient evidence for the statement that, in Chrysostom's time, the day dedicated to Ignatius was in June. The mere allusion, in a Homily delivered in honour of Ignatius, that "recently"
the feast of St. Pelagia (in the Latin Calendar 9th June) had been celebrated, by no means justifies such a conclusion, and there is nothing else to establish it.

[136:2] In discussing the authenticity of fragments ascribed to Melito, Dr. Lightfoot quoted, as an argument from _Supernatural Religion_ the following words: "They have, in fact, no attestation whatever except that of the Syriac translation, which is unknown and which, therefore, is worthless." The pa.s.sage appeared thus in the _Contemporary Review_, and now is again given in the same form in the present volume. I presume that the pa.s.sage which Dr. Lightfoot intends to quote is: "They have no attestation whatever, except that of the Syriac translator, who is unknown, and which is, therefore, worthless" (_S.R._ ii. p. 181). If Dr. Lightfoot, who has so much a.s.sistance in preparing his works for the press, can commit such mistakes, he ought to be a little more charitable to those who have none.
