(70-155 A.D.) Papias had associations with Polycarp and with St. John himself, and known to have talked with Philip"s daughters, and of "others who had seen the Lord". (See Irenaeus, "Against Heresies", v.33.3) He is said to have been Bishop of Hierapolis, in Phrygia. Only fragments of his work have survived and they are called, "Exposition of the Oracles of the Lord". Papias is said to have claimed that the "Gospel of Matthew". was written first, and Mark served as a scribe for Peter's work. Three fragments from Clement of Alexandria"s work confirm this idea. (See Clement's Fragments- Online. See also; Works of Henry Barchlay Swete, 1835-1917.
