The Church History of Eusebius
Chapter XXI.--Cerdon becomes the Third Ruler of the Church of Alexandria.
1. After Nerva had reigned a little more than a year 1 he was succeeded by Trajan. It was during the first year of his reign that Abilius, 2 who had ruled the church of Alexandria for thirteen years, was succeeded by Cerdon. 3
2. He was the third that presided over that church after Annianus, 4 who was the first. At that time Clement still ruled the church of Rome, being also the third that held the episcopate there after Paul and Peter.
3. Linus was the first, and after him came Anencletus. 5

Ἐκκλησιαστικὴ ἱστορία
ΚΑ Ὡς τῆς Ἀλεξανδρέων ἐκκλησίας τρίτος ἡγεῖται Κέρδων.
[3.21.1] Μικρῶι δὲ πλέον ἐνιαυτοῦ βασιλεύσαντα Νερούαν διαδέχεται Τραϊανός. οὗ δὴ πρῶτον ἔτος ἦν ἐν ὧι τῆς κατ' Ἀλεξάνδρειαν παροικίας Ἀβίλιον δέκα πρὸς τρισὶν ἔτεσιν ἡγησάμενον διαδέχεται Κέρδων. τρίτος οὗτος τῶν αὐτόθι μετὰ τὸν πρῶτον Ἀννιανὸν προέστη. ἐν τούτωι δὲ Ῥωμαίων εἰς ἔτι Κλήμης ἡγεῖτο, τρίτον καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπέχων τῶν τῆιδε μετὰ Παῦλόν τε καὶ Πέτρον ἐπισκοπευσάντων βαθμόν. Λίνος δὲ ὁ πρῶτος ἦν καὶ μετ' αὐτὸν Ἀνέγκλητος.
