	Hegesippus
		Eusebius says that Hegesippus was a convert from Judaism, for he quoted from the Hebrew, was acquainted with the Gospel of the Hebrews and with a Syriac Gospel, and he also cited unwritten traditions of the Jews.
		Eusebius quotes from Hegesippus a long and perhaps legendary account of the death of James the Just, "the brother of the Lord", also the story of the election of his successor Simeon, and the summoning of the descendants of Jude to Rome by Domitian.
		The date of Hegesippus is fixed by the statement that the death and apotheosis of Antinous (130) occurred in his own time, that he came to Rome under Anicetus and wrote in the time of Eleutherus.

		True, there is confusion in the narrative of Hegesippus, and even a probability that the martyrdom of Symeon dated under Trajan really took place in the persecution of Domitian,before the arrest of the grandsons of Jude, for apart from the alleged age of Symeon (the traditional Jewish limit of human life, Gen.

		Further, Eusebius, who has preserved the narrative of Hegesippus, and the early Fathers who allude to it, appear to have placed in it implicit confidence; and there is nothing improbable in most, if not even in all, of the particulars mentioned.
		Hegesippus had an inquiring mind, and had travelled much; he endeavoured to learn all he could of the past and present state of the churches that he visited: at Corinth the first epistle of Clement excited his curiosity; at Rome the history of its early bishops.

		The testimony of Hegesippus is of great value, not only as that of a man born near the primitive Christian tradition, but also as that of an intelligent traveller amongst many Christian communities.
		For him, "James, the brother of the Lord," was the chief of the Apostles, and he states that he had received the government of the Church after the death of Jesus.
		Hegesippus represents the dying James as kneeling down and praying for those who were stoning him: "I beseech (thee), Lord God Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Parakalô, kurie Theè pater, aphes autois ou gar oidasi ti poiusin).

		What we learn from Hegesippus concerning the state of affairs in all orthodox churches of his time can therefore only to a very limited degree be regarded as a result of his investigations on a journey to the West in which the current situation was recorded impartially.
		But for Hegesippus himself that does not yet seem to have been the case, so that for him "the law and the prophets and the Lord" were, in fact, ill disposed toward this supplementation by means of Paul.
		Thus Hegesippus wants what he describes to be regarded as the state of the apostolic, bishop-led churches, no doubt as opposed to heresy, in accord with his entire outlook.

	Appendix C: James
		Probably Hegesippus had never read Josephus' Antiquities but he knew likely about the Gnostic '2nd Apocalypse of James' which has this same sequence: James' speech and, as a result, casting down and stoning to death.
		Hegesippus is also in parts inspired by some passages in 'Acts' and Matthew's gospel.
		But Hegesippus could not deny the Jewishness of James, even if he wanted to make a proto-Christian out of him (posthumously!) and a martyr (as Stephen in Ac7:54-60).

	Non-Canonical References to James as Source
		Hegesippus says that James' testimony was answered favorably by the shout of the nationalistic slogan, "Hosanna to the Son of David." However, Hegesippus may be in error in recording it as a positive response.
		Hegesippus also says James called Jesus "savior" (EH 2:23, 8) and then goes on to speak of him as "Son of man" and made reference to the session at the right hand by the ascended Jesus and of the parousia (EH 2:23:13).
		The mention of the sects (Hegesippus probably means the seven sects listed in EH 4:22,7), who did not believe in the resurrection of future rewards, shows the writer did not have a clear idea of Jewish society for he includes the Pharisees among the antagonists of James.

	Footnotes
		It was the common Oriental custom to accord the highest honors to all the members of a prophet's or religious leader's family, and it was undoubtedly owing chiefly to his close physical relationship to Christ that James enjoyed such prominence and influence in the Jerusalem church, apparently exceeding even that of the apostles themselves.
		If Hegesippus' account be accepted as trustworthy (and there is no reason for doubting it), Symeon was the son of Clopas and Mary, and therefore brother of James the Little and Joses.
		Whether Hegesippus elsewhere stated this directly, or whether Eusebius' opinion is simply an inference from the words of Hegesippus already referred to, we do not know.

		Hegesippus' account apparently varied from what Josephus reports: the Pharisees, upset at his teachings, first threw him from the summit of the Temple in Jerusalem, then stoned him, and at last broke his skull with a fuller's club.

	Bruce Chilton on Jesus' brother James
		In addition, Hegesippus describes James in terms which emphasize his purity in such a way that, as in Acts, his association with the Nazirite vow is evident (cf.
		Hegesippus’ account of James’ prominence is confirmed by Clement, who portrays James as the first elected bishop in Jerusalem (also cited by Eusebius, History 2.1.1-6), and by the pseudo-Clementine Recognitions, which makes James into an almost papal figure, providing the correct paradigm of preaching to Gentiles.
		As a matter of fact, Hegesippus accepts that this signification is Greek; James seems to be so named here because after his death the seige of Jerusalem was successful.

		That this excludes Hegesippus, the earliest Christian historian, is an inference of the wildest character.

		Hegesippus is introduced as belonging to the first generation after the apostles, quite possibly an attempt by Eusebius to qualify the accuracy of Hegesippus's works.
		When the quotation of Hegesippus ends with "Immediately after this Vespasian began to besiege them," Eusebius again merits its inclusion by stating the full account is in agreement with Clement (although Clement is later than Hegesippus and feasibly incorporated some of the earlier material into his own).
		Hegesippus had a great deal of influence upon Eusebius to display the early followers, specifically Jesus and his family, as righteous suffers.

		Pella was not mentioned in any of the many citations of Hegesippus in History of the Church although we would have expected such references.
		That the single tradition is so firmly entrenched means that the tradition, when it was told by Aristo of Pella around 150 CE had already attained the status of a strong unchallenged tradition.

		Hegesippus' formula is no longer adequate for the churches of his day since for them, the Apostle Paul with his collection of letters has undoubtedly already assumed a regular place alongside the Old Testament and the Lord around the year 180.
		The silence of a Dionysius of Corinth, of a Hegesippus, of a Rhodon, and of others whose enmity toward heresy goes hand in hand with their alliance with Rome, as we have already heard (above, 106-108), is regrettable, and should not be used to draw inferences in either direction.
