From the Homily About the Town of Antioch.
To Simon was allotted Rome, [2957] and to John Ephesus; to Thomas India, and to Addæus the country of the Assyrians. [2958] And, when they were sent each one of them to the district which had been allotted to him, they devoted themselves [2959] to bring the several countries to discipleship.

Footnotes:

[2956] From Cod. Add. 14,590, of the eighth or ninth century.

[2957] [A note of the Middle Age. The reverse is taught in the Scriptures, but even Hebrew Christians slurred the name of Paul.]

[2958] This is probably the correct reading: the printed text means "among the Assyrians."--Tr.

[2959] Lit. "set their faces."--Tr.
