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 commended
you in the Lord. The whole Church of the
Smyrnaeans, indeed, is mindful of you in their
prayers in the Lord. Onesimus, the pastor of
the Ephesians, salutes you. Damas,5 the bishop
of Magnesia, salutes you. Polybius, bishop of
the Trallians, salutes you. Philo and Agatho-
pus, the deacons, my companions, salute you,
" Salute one another with a holy kiss." ^
