VIII.
From the homily about the town of Antioch.[1]
To Simon was allotted Rome,[2] and to John Ephesus; to Thomas India, and to Addæus the country of the Assyrians.[3] And, when they were sent each one of them to the district which had been allotted to him, they devoted themselves[4] to bring the several countries to discipleship.
