“ T<small>HE</small> blessed apostles having founded and established the church, transmitted the office of the episcopate to Linus. Of this Linus, Paul makes mention in his Epistles to Timothy. He was succeeded by Anencletus, and after him '''Clement''' held the episcopate, the third from the apostles. Who, as he had seen the blessed apostles, and had been connected with them, might be said to have the doctrine of the apostles still sounding in his ears, and what they delivered before his eyes. And not only he, but many others were still left, who had been taught by the apostles. In the times of this '''Clement''', there was no little dissension among the brethren at Corinth, on occasion of which the church at Rome wrote a considerable epistle to the Corinthians, confirming them in peace, and renewing their faith and the doctrine they had lately received from the apostles. After a little, he subjoins ''':''' “ But this Clement was succeeded by [[Pope Evarestus|Euarestus]], and Euarestus by [[Pope Alexander|Alexander]]. [[Pope Xystus|Xystus]] followed as the sixth from the apostles, after whom was [[Pope Telesphorus|Telesphorus]], who also illustriously suffered martyrdom; then came [[Pope Hyginus|Hyginus]], and after him [[Pope Pius|Pius]].
