Now I am writing these things to you from Smyrna by the blessed Ephesians, and Crocus, a name very dear to me, is also with me, and many others.
Concerning those who have preceded me from Syria to Rome to the glory of God, I believe that you have received information ; tell them that I am close at hand; for they are all worthy of God and of you, and it is right for you to refresh them in every way.
I write this to you on the 24th of August. Farewell unto the end, in the endurance of Jesus Christ.
