Besides the works and letters of Irenaeus which we have mentioned, a
certain book of his On Knowledge, written against the Greeks, very
concise and remarkably forcible, is extant; and another, which he
dedicated to a brother Martian, In Demonstration of the Apostolic
Preaching; and a volume containing various Dissertations, in which
he mentions the Epistle to the Hebrews and the so-called Wisdom of
Solomon, making quotations from them. These are the works of
Irenaeus which have come to our knowledge.
Commodus having ended his reign after thirteen years, Severus became
emperor in less than six months after his death, Pertinax having
reigned during the intervening time.
