| | Hippolytus, Bishop, Scholar, and Martyr (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) |
 | | Hippolytus, martyred around 235, was a scholar who wrote in Greek, but was resident in or near Rome. |
 | | Some Eastern writers refer to him as the Bishop of Rome, but he is not on the list of Bishops of Rome at that time. |
 | | However, a simpler explanation is that he was Bishop of Ostia (41:46 N 12:18 E), the port city of Rome, and that the Eastern writers, observing him to be the most important Christian writer in Italy at that time, simply made a mistake. |
