Codex 14: Apollinarius, Against the Heathen, On Piety, and On Truth

Read Apollinarius’s¹ Against the Heathen, On Piety, and On Truth. The writer was bishop of Hierapolis in Asia² and flourished during the reign of Marcus Antoninus Verus.³ He deserves mention and his style is excellent. Other writings of his are said to be equally worthy of record, but they have not come into my hands.
