I salute Cassian and his partner in life, and their very dear children. Polycarp, that most
worthy bishop, who is also deeply interested in you, salutes you; and to him I have commen-
ded you in the Lord. The whole Church of the Smyrnæans, indeed, is mindful of you in
their prayers in the Lord. Onesimus, the pastor of the Ephesians, salutes you. Damas,781 the
bishop of Magnesia, salutes you. Polybius, bishop of the Trallians, salutes you. Philo and
Agathopus, the deacons, my companions, salute you, “Salute one another with a holy kiss.”782
781 Or, as some read, “Demas.”
