From the homily about the town of Antioch.13 From Cod. Add. 14,590, of the eighth or ninth century.

To Simon was allotted Rome,14 [A note of the Middle Age. The reverse is taught in the Scriptures, but even Hebrew Christians slurred the name of Paul.] and to John Ephesus; to Thomas India, and to Addæus the country of the Assyrians.15 This is probably the correct reading: the printed text means “among the Assyrians.”—Tr. And, when they were sent each one of them to the district which had been allotted to him, they devoted themselves16 Lit. “set their faces.”—Tr. to bring the several countries to discipleship.
