one of the Christians to whom Paul addresses a salutation in the end of his Epistle to the Romans. By some he is regarded as the author of an apocryphal book called the *Shepherd*, from having been dictated to the writer by an angel in pastoral dress. With the exception of a few fragments in the original Greek, this work exists only in a Latin version. In the very earliest ages its canonicity was regarded with suspicion; but from its taint of superstition and absurdity, it is wonderful that it should ever have been received with approbation. It is to be found in editions of the Apostolic Fathers, and has been translated by Archbishop Wake. The authorship of the book is by others attributed to a brother of the Roman Bishop Pius (A.D. 140), or to one of the seventy-two disciples who is said to have been bishop of Philippopolis.
