After Heraclas succeeded Dionysius Alexandrinus, in the bishopric of Alexandria, like as he succeeded him in the school before.1 Which Dionysius also writeth of the same Heraclas unto Philemon a Priest of Rome, thus saying: Hunc ego canonem & typum a beato Heracla Papa nostro accepi, &c. that is, This Canon and type I received of blessed Heraclas our Pope, &c. This Heraclas was no Martyr which dyed 3. years before Decius, 2about the year of our Lord, 250. After whom succeeded next in the same seat of Alexandria, Dionysius Alexandrinus, 3who also suffered much under the tyranny of Decius, as hereafter shall be showed (Christ willing) when we come to the time of Valerian.
