Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume VIII/The Decretals/The Epistles of Pope Pontianus/Note by the American Editor

Note by the American Editor.

In Bower&#8217;s History of the Popes (ed. Philadelphia, 1847), vol. i. p. 22, may be seen an interesting note on the &#8220;Pontifical&#8221; of Bucherius, under the name of Pontianus.&#160; It was this bishop who is said to have condemned Origen.&#160; He probably shared the fate of Hippolytus in exile, and was martyred under Maximin the Thracian.
