Papias

I have collected and posted the complete fragments of Papias here. I added a handful of fragments not given by Holmes’ The Apostolic Fathers: Greek Texts and English Translations and corrected and updated others. Much thanks and credit is due to my friend, Tamim, who translated a fragment from Arabic, and Robert Bedrosian who translated three fragments from Armenian.  Roger Pearse was also quite helpful and supportive in tracking down the locations of some obscure references.  Papias is a fascinating figure and I hope this collection adds to our knowledge of him.  It really was quite an interesting project.  Suggestions and critiques are welcome.

    Quite interesting and nicely done! Finding out that your references are available to be read free online too will keep me occupied for awhile.

    Thanks again,
    Jordan

    There’s a lot of significant information on your Papias page, Tom. Your work is appreciated. I’m sure people will find it useful for years to come.

    Thank you all for your comments and I apologize for being so late to reply, some important family issues needed attention (all good though). I hope to collect fragments of more of our early Christian fathers in the future and then post them for you all.
