In the tenth year of the reign of Commodus, Victor succeeded
Eleutherus, the latter having held the episcopate for thirteen years.
In the same year, after Julian a had completed his tenth year,
Demetrius received the charge of the parishes at Alexandria. At this
time the above-mentioned Serapion, the eighth from the apostles, was
still well known as bishop of the church at Antioch. Theophilus
presided at Caesarea in Palestine; and Narcissus, whom we have
mentioned before, still had charge of the church at Jerusalem.
Bacchylus at the same time was bishop of Corinth in Greece, and
Polycrates of the parish of Ephesus. And besides these a multitude
of others, as is likely, were then prominent. But we have given the
names of those alone, the soundness of whose faith has come down to us
in writing.
