[42:2] Ibid. Even the manuscript authorities of this postscript differ as to the name. According to some, the prenomen was Statius; according to others, Stratius; according to another, Tatius; whilst in another the name is omitted altogether. See Lightfoot, vol. i. p. 656, note; vol. ii. sec. ii. p. 984; see also Jacobson, ii. p. 593.

[43:1] It is probable that the postscript was written many years after the event; and, under these circumstances, the writer may have mistaken the name of the proconsul at the time. Eusebius seems to have known nothing of this postscript, and it is now impossible to tell when it was added.

[43:2] Ummidius Quadratus, in A.D. 167, was associated with the Emperor Lucius Verus in the consulship; and it would appear that about A.D. 169—on the ground of exceptional ability and influence—he was appointed to the proconsulship of Asia.
