21.1
Blessed Polycarp suffered martyrdom on the second day of the first half of the month Xanthicus, seven days before the Kalends of March, on a Great Sabbath, at the eighth hour. He was arrested by Herod, while Philip of Tralles was high priest and Statius Quadratus was proconsul, but while Jesus Christ reigns forever. To him be glory, honor, majesty, and an eternal throne from generation to generation. Amen.
