==References == | <p> a bishop of Rome, followed [[Pius]] I about 157, and is called a martyr in the Roman and other martyrologies, although it is not certain whether he shed his blood for the faith. He received, about 160, a visit from Polycarp, and tolerated the custom of the Asiatics in celebrating [[Easter]] on the fourteenth day of the first moon after the vernal equinox with the Jews. He had to combat the heretics Valentine and Marcion, and died 168. He is commemorated as a saint by the Roman Church on April 17. '''''—''''' Butler, Lives of the Saints, April 17. </p> | ||
