  Papias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Papias (working in the 1st half of the 2nd century) was one of the early leaders of the Christian church, canonized as a saint.
Eusebius held Papias in low esteem, but accounts of his motivation differ: the influence which his work had in perpetuating, through Irenaeus and others, belief in a millennial reign of Christ upon earth, that would soon usher in a new Golden Age.
Thus Papias reports he heard things that came from an unwritten, oral tradition of the Presbyters, a "sayings" or logia tradition that had been passed from Jesus to such of the apostles and disciples as he mentions in the fragmentary quote.

 St. Papias
The famous statement of Papias that St. Matthew wrote his logia (that is, his canonical work) in Hebrew, and each interpreted (translated) it as he was able, seems to imply that when Papias wrote an accepted version was current—our present St. Matthew.
It is highly probable that Papias had a New Testament containing the Four Gospels, the Acts, the chief Epistles of St. Paul, the Apocalypse and Epistles of St. John, and I Peter.
Eusebius says Papias "published a story of a woman accused of many sins before the Lord, which is contained in the Gospel according to the Hebrews".

 J. Shaw: The Printed Dictionary in France Before 1539: A.1.3-A.1.3.3
Papias, a cleric and possibly a native of Pavia in Lombardy (Hunt 1991: I, 371), spent ten years [13] compiling his Elementarium doctrinae erudimentum, and finished it about 1053.
Papias concludes his preface with a list of his sources (Daly/Daly 1964: 231); however, de Angelis (1977) clearly demonstrates that his principal source is the Liber glossarum or Glossarium Ansileubi (see 1.2.

 Theological Commitment
The one concerning Matthew is: "Matthew put together the oracles [ta logia] in the Hebrew language, and each one interpreted them as best he could."11 One interpretation of this has been that after the disciple Matthew wrote or composed his gospel it was known for a while as the Logia.
As to whether Papias himself ever saw these Logia scrolls or only learned about their content from one or two others who had had first- or second-hand access to them before they came into the custody of the compiler of Matthew, remains quite uncertain.
With the use of coverup criticism, Mark's pleonasms, which are both numerous and pervasive,41 are also seen to be a part of the compiler's procedure of inserting his own style throughout so that the resulting Gospel of Mark would have its own appearance and identity, distinct from that of its main source, Matthew.

Chief among the chiliasts of the ante-Nicene age were the author of the epistle of Barnabas, Papias, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, and Tertullian; while the principal opponents of the doctrine were Caius, Origen, Dionysius of Alexandria, and Eusebius.
This is a natural supposition, but it is quite possible that Papias in speaking of this lack of order is not thinking at all of another written Gospel, but merely of the order of events which he had received from tradition as the true one.
The two things were hardly connected as direct cause and effect, though it cannot be denied that the actual immoralities of some of these antinomian sects may have had some effect in confirming these tales, and hence that their extinction may have had some tendency to hasten the obliteration of the vile reports.
