Chapter XXV.—Philip and Modestus.

Philip who, as we learn from the words of Dionysius,¹²⁷² was bishop of the parish of Gortyna, likewise wrote a most elaborate work against Marcion,¹²⁷³ as did also Irenæus¹²⁷⁴ and Modestus.¹²⁷⁵ 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 presented by a great many of the brethren.
