Werke Methodius von Olympus (260-312) Fragments of Methodius Note on Methodius

General Note.

(Vexillas,--as they are called, p. 399.)

It is very curious to note how certain ideas are inherited from the earliest Fathers, and travel down, as here, to find a new expression in a distant age. Here our author reflects Justin Martyr, 1 and the Labarum 2 itself is the outcrop of what Justin wrote to Antoninus Pius.
