Hence the first of the charges brought against him by Domitian was the strangeness of his dress. Philostr. viii. 5. By way of contrast, Cf. 1 Cor. ii. 3, 4; 2 Cor. x. 10. Philostr. iv. 1. See also i. 19, 21, iv. 17, 20, 39, vii. 31, etc., and i. 10, 12 etc. Brucker, vol. ii. p. 144.
See Eusebius, Vopiscus, Lampridius, etc., as quoted by Bayle. See Brucker on this point, vol. ii. p. 141, who refers to various authors. Eusebius takes a more sober view of the question, allowing the substance of the history, but disputing the extraordinary parts. See in Hierocl. 5 and 12. Most of them are imitations of the miracles attributed to Pythagoras. See Philostr. i. 4, 5, viii. 30, 31.
Philostr. v. 12; in i. 2, he associates Democritus, a natural philosopher, with Pythagoras and Empedocies. See viii. 7, § 8, and Brucker, vol. i. p. 1108, etc., and p. 1184. In his apology before Domitian, he expressly attributes his removal of the Ephesian pestilence to Hercules, and makes this ascription the test of a divine philosopher as distinguished from a magician, viii. 7, § 9, ubi vid.
This sufficiently agrees in substance with the narrative of Philostratus to give the latter some probability. It was on this occasion that the famous cures are said to have been wrought. As Egypt supplied Rome with corn, Vespasian by taking possession of that country almost secured to himself the Empire. Tacit. Hist. ii. 82, iii. 8. Philostr. v. 31. Brucker, vol. ii. p. 566, etc. Epist. 8.
Paul passed through Ionia into Greece A.D. 53, and was at Ephesus A.D. 54, and again from A.D. 56 to 58; he was at Rome in A.D. 65 and 66, when he was martyred. Lucian and Apuleius speak of him as if his name were familiar to them. Olear. præf. ad Vit. In Hierocl. 5. Inst. v. 3. See Bayle, Art. Apollonius; and Cudworth, Intell. Syst. iv. 14. Philostr. viii. 19, 20.
Blount. Philostr. i. 3. Philostr. i. 2, 3. Philostr i. 17, vi. 11. Philostr. i. 7. Ibid. i. 8. Ibid. i. 13. Ibid. i. 14, 15. Brucker, vol. ii. p. 104. Philostr. i. 16. See Olear. præfat. ad vitam. As he died, U.C. 849, he is usually considered to have lived to a hundred.
