26 Apollinaris the bishop PL 23, 645

Apollinaris, bishop of Hierapolis in Asia, flourished in the reign of Marcus Antoninus Verus, to whom he addressed a notable volume in behalf of the faith of the Christians. There are extant also five other books of his Against the Nations, two On truth andAgainst the Cataphrygians written at the time when Montanus was making a beginning with Prisca and Maximilla.

Apollinaris Asiae Hierapolitanus episcopus, sub imperatore M. Antonino Vero floruit, cui et insigne volumen pro fide Christianorum dedit. Exstant ejus et alii quinque adversum gentes libri, et de veritate duo, adversum Cataphrygas tunc primum exortos cum Prisca et Maximilla insanis vatibus, incipiente Montano.

Ἀπολλινάριος Ἱεραπόλεως τῆς Ἀσίας ἐπίσκοπος βασιλεύοντος Μάρκου Ἀντωνίνου Βήρου ἤνθησεν, ᾧτινι καὶ ἐπίσημον τεῦχος ὑπὲρ τῆς τῶν Χριστιανῶν πίστεως ἐπέδωκεν. Εἰσὶ καὶ ἕτεροι πέντε αὐτοῦ κατὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν λόγοι, καὶ περὶ ἀληθείας δύο, καὶ κατὰ τῶν Φρυγῶν τότε πρῶτον ἀνακυψάντων ἅμα Πρισκίλλᾳ καὶ Μαξιμίλλᾳ ἀνοσίοις προφήταις, ἀρξαμένου Μοντανου.
