  Epistles of Saint John
Hence it is that Papias, in joining John with Aristion, speaks of John the Elder and not of Aristion the Elder; Aristion was not an elder or Apostle.
The reason for joining the Aristion with John at all is that they were both witnesses of the present to Papias, whereas all the Apostles were witnesses of the past generation.
Note that the second aorist (eipen) is used in regard to the group of witnesses of the past generation, since there is question of what they had said, whereas the present (legousin) is used in regard to the witnesses of the present generation, i.e.

Aristion fled to the Acropolis, having first burnt the Odeum, lest Sulla should use the wood-work of that building for battering-rams and other instruments of attack.
The Acropolis, however, was soon taken, and Aristion dragged to execution from the altar of Minerva.

 Aristion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Aristion (died 86 BC in Athens) was a philosopher and tyrant of Athens from 88 BC to 86 BC.
Aristion joined forces with Mithridates against the Romans under Lucius Cornelius Sulla, but to no avail.
Aristion had burned the Odeum, so that Sulla could not use its timber for storming the Acropolis.

 Aristion - OrthodoxWiki
The holy, glorious, right-victorious hieromartyr Aristion of Alexandria (Cilicia) was the bishop of lesser Alexandria (Isso) in Cilicia (Asia Minor) during the second century.
Aristion was born in the small town of Aribazo in the eparchy of Apamea, Syria at the beginning of the second century.
It is certain that Aristion prayed for his young friend and remembered his courage and strength, for Anthony's efforts to bring Aristion to the saving Faith had born fruit and were not in vain.

 Tarbell : The grave-monument of Aristion
A fine Attic work, which we may probably attribute to the time of Pisistratus, is the grave-monument of Aristion.
The form of the monument, a tall, narrow, slightly tapering slab or stele, is the usual one in Attica in this period.
The man represented in low relief is, of course, Aristion himself.

Other informants of Papias's visitors were still living, "Aristion and John the Presbyter, the disciples of the Lord", as is shown by the present tense, legousin.
Again, he seems to distinguish the sayings of the disciples of the Lord, Aristion and John, from those of the Presbyters, as though the latter were not disciples of the Lord.
He had also received information from the daughters of Philip, one of whom was buried like her father at Hierapolis, and had apparently been known to Papias.

 Papias
And the Papias being explained now admits that he had received the words of the apostles from those who followed them, and declares that he was an ear-witness of Aristion and the presbyter John.
So some suppose that of John are the two short and catholic epistles, which are circulated from the name of John, on account of the early persons' approval of the first alone.
We say this, however, on account of the above opinion, that, insofar as we report a tradition from very many, the two latter epistles of John are not of the apostle but of the presbyter.

 Kouros and Kore -- Page 1 -- TIME
It bears a girl's name, Phrasikleia ("Renowned for Eloquence"), and the sculptor's hallmark "Aristion made me." That, says Mastrokostas, director of antiquities for Attica, is "unchallengeable evidence" that the statue is Aristion's work, and he thinks that the statue of the youth may also be carved by him.
Aristion was a master artisan, known from old writing to have lived on the Aegean island of Paros about the third quarter of the 6th century B.C. Until the new dig, it had been believed that the only remnants of his work were four statueless marble bases bearing his imprimatur.
Now that Mastrokostas has been able to study Aristion's style, he believes he may be able to identify other works of his among the many still unidentified masterpieces of ancient Greece.

 Roman Athens I
In the name of this 'democracy' Athenion seized the opportunity to impose a most unphilosophical reign of terrοr upon the city, persecuting all those who had been friendly to the Romans, and arbitrarily confiscating the wealth of some of the richer citizens.
When his rule became insupportable he was overthrown by another philosopher-tyrant, the epicurean Aristion.
When Sulla's army broke into the lower city, Aristion and his followers retreated to the Acropolis, burning the Odeion of Pericles as they did so, in order to prevent the timbers in its roof from being appropriated for the building of siege engines.

Thus we see that Papias is not making a first attempt to write the life of our Lord or a history of the apostles, but assumes the previous existence of a written record.
Papias enumerates the ultimate sources of his traditions in two classes: Andrew, Peter, and others, of whom he speaks in the past tense; Aristion and John the Elder, of whom he speaks in the present.
Eusebius certainly understands Papias to claim to have been a hearer of this John and Aristion.

He not only spent large sums in the acquisition of his library, but stole original documents from the archives of Athens and other cities of Greece.
Being detected, he fled in order to escape punishment, but returned when Athenion (or Aristion), a bitter opponent of the Romans, had made himself tyrant of the city with the aid of Mithradates.
Athenion sent him with some troops to Delos, to plunder the treasures of the temple, but he showed little military capacity.

This shows that the statement of those is true, who say that there were two persons in Asia that bore the same name, and that there were two tombs in Ephesus, each of which, even to the present day, is called John’s.
But it was due to him that so many of the Church Fathers after him adopted a like opinion, urging in their own support the antiquity of the man; as for instance Irenæus and any one else that may have proclaimed similar views.
Of this Aristion we know only what we can gather from this mention of him by Papias.

 The Catholic Legate
Secondly the Presbyter was named after Aristion, someone who was obviously not one of the apostles; implying that the Presbyter was at best the equal of Aristion and very likely his inferior when it came to the teachings of Christ.
So, according to the Tradition, John and Aristion, who, as Papias directly says, were both first-hand disciples of Christ, proclaimed the Word as itinerant evangelists, and then later "settled down" (in their old age) to be presbyter-bishops of the city-churches of Ephesus and Smyrna, respectively.
This would make it impossible for Aristion to still be the bishop there; and indeed, Ignatius of Antioch, who had encountered Polycarp as bishop of Smyrna years earlier in 107 A.D., of course makes no mention of Aristion "co-ruling" in Smyrna or of any "John" presiding over Ephesus, where Onesimus was the contemporary bishop.

 The Fourth-Gospel Problem   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Papias distinctly says that his interest was to hear from the followers of the elders what they could tell him of what the elders had said about what certain "disciples of the Lord" had said.
But there was an additional confirmation of the nature of the "commandments given by the Lord to faith," for these same elders who had formerly known certain "disciples of the Lord" who had passed away, also knew of certain living "disciples of the Lord," namely Aristion and John the elder.
Again Professor Schmiedel's assumption that Papias knew Aristion and John the elder personally, is based on a translation of the text peculiar to himself and out of keeping with the construction of the sentence.
