The Encyclical Epistle of the Church at Smyrna Concerning the Martyrdom of the Holy Polycarp

The Encyclical Epistle of the Church at Smyrna Concerning the Martyrdom of the Holy Polycarp

The Church of God which sojourns at Smyrna, to the Church of God sojourning in Philomelium, 1 and to all the congregations 2 of the Holy and Catholic Church in every place: Mercy, peace, and love from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ, be multiplied.

  1. Some read, "Philadelphia," but on inferior authority. Philomelium was a city of Phrygia.  ↩

  2. The word in the original is poroikiais, from which the English "parishes" is derived. ↩
