Who
Presbyter and theologian at Rome, a rigorist critic of Pope Callistus, deported to Sardinia with Pope Pontian in 235 and honoured as a martyr. His Commentary on Daniel is the oldest Christian commentary to survive, and the Refutation of All Heresies, On Christ and Antichrist and the fragments on Genesis, Proverbs and the Psalms show the exegete; the Apostolic Tradition is attributed to him. The chain quotes his reading of the ark of incorruptible wood as Christ's incorrupt flesh taken from the Virgin.
