Werke Julius Sextus Africanus The Passion of St. Symphorosa and Her Seven Sons Elucidations - The Passion of St. Symphorosa and Her Seven Sons

II.

(Conclusion, cap. xix. p. 138.)

On Jewish genealogies, note Dean Prideaux, 1 vol. i. p. 296, and compare Lardner, vol. ii. 129, et alibi. Stillingfleet 2 should not be overlooked in what he says of the uncertainties of heathen chronology.

Lardner repeatedly calls our author a "great man;" and his most valuable account, 3 digested from divers ancient and modern writers, must be consulted by the student. Let us observe the books of Scripture which his citations attest, and the great value of his attestation of the two genealogies of our Lord. Lardner dates the Letter to Origen 4 a.d. 228 or 240, according to divers conjectures of the learned. He concludes with this beautiful tribute: "We may glory in Africanus as a Christian" among those "whose shining abilities rendered them the ornament of the age in which they lived,--men of unspotted characters, giving evident proofs of honesty and integrity."
