Main Entry: ig·ne·ous
Pronunciation: 'ig-nE-&s
Function: adjective
Etymology: Latin igneus, from ignis fire; akin to Sanskrit agni fire
1 : of, relating to, or resembling fire : FIERY
2 a : relating to, resulting from, or suggestive of the intrusion or extrusion of magma or volcanic activity b : formed by solidification of magma <igneous rock>

Polycarp of Smyrna (69?-155?, 80?-166?, 81?-167?, 79?-165?, or 70?-156?) was a Christian bishop of Smyrna in the second century. He died a martyr and is recognized as a saint in both the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. According to tradition, he was a disciple of John the Evangelist who is identified with one of the first twelve Apostles.

Polycarp was a correspondent of Ignatius of Antioch. Ignatius addressed a letter to him, and mentions him in the letters to the Ephesians and to the Magnesians. Polycarp visited Rome during the time of Pope Anicetus, and found their customs for observing Easter differed. They agreed to peaceably disagree on this matter.

His sole surviving work, the Letter to the Philippians, and an account of The Martyrdom of Polycarp form part of the writings usually collected under the title "The Apostolic Fathers". The latter is considered the earliest genuine post-biblical account of a Christian martyrdom, and one of the very few genuine such writings from the actual age of the persecutions.

Irenaeus relates how and when he became a Christian and in his letter to Florinus stated that he saw and heard him personally in lower Asia; in particular he heard the account of Polycarp's intercourse with John the Evangelist and with others who had seen Jesus Christ. Irenaeus also reports that Polycarp was converted to Christianity by apostles, was consecrated a bishop, and communicated with many who had seen Jesus. He repeatedly emphasizes the very old age of Polycarp. The Martyrdom has Polycarp himself give his age on the day of his death as 86 years.

The date of Polycarp's death is disputed. Eusebius dates it to the reign of Marcus Aurelius, circa 166-7. However, a post-Eusebian addition to the treatise The Martyrdom of Polycarp dates his death to Saturday, February 23 in the proconsulship of Statius Quadratus -- which works out to be 155 or 156. These earlier dates better fit the tradition of his association with Ignatius and John the Evangelist.

When Polycarp died, was that like a ... uh... major fish die-off?

Public input is welcome in the decision making process or on the topic.

did you want to retract that?

I have not participated in your topic. For shame. I merely noticed that others had and that you, commander sensitive, had reacted in a manner that contradicted your original statement of tolerance and open mindedness. As a courtesy I asked if you wanted to amend your desires for open discussion.

As for being your Geisha, no. My level of self esteem precludes me from trolling BBSs in search of sex.

thanks for getting my back Rian <smooch>

I just, for a moment, pretended that I had never read this board before and that I didn't know you people at all. I read the last couple of posts.

Holy shit y'all are a bunch of loons.

stuart · Post by **stuart** » Mon Sep 27, 2004 3:58 pm

are you still blushing?

not if you are referring to me in the forbidden way and I am, as a result, still not hearing you.

otherwise, uh , yeah, sort of.

re:half heh, as soon as I hit the submit I realized the potential miss-que on that one but no. The extra half was in order to quell the reaction I did not have because I was not paying attention.
