DA very early Bishop of Hieropolis, around 100 A.D.✓ Correct Answer
Answer & Explanation
✓ A very early Bishop of Hieropolis, around 100 A.D.
Little is known of him, but much owed, for he wrote five books, and the fragments that remain are rare writings about the early church. It is from him that we know Matthew took down contemporaneous quotes from Christ, in Hebrew, which apparently became the Sermon on the Mount. (See Gospel of Matthew)
