Neither Eusebius nor any other ancient writer makes mention of Abercius, who, according to Baronius, wrote an excellent Book of Discipline, to be observed by priests and deacons, and an apology to Marcus Aurelius the emperor; both of which the cardinal promised to give entire in his Annales, but it was not done.
