From Smith's Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology (London, 1880)

ABE'RCIUS, ST. ('Aberkios), the supposed successor of St. Papias in the see of Hierapolis, flourished A.D. 150. There are ascribed to him, 1. An Epistle to the Emperor Marcus Aurelius, of which Baronius speaks as extant, but he does not produce it; and, 2. A Book of Discipline (Biblos didaskalias) addressed to his Clergy; this too is lost. See Illustr. Eccles. Orient. Script. Vitae, a P. Halloix. Duac. 1636.

An original e-text for everything2. That is, I sat down and copied the text from the book (in the public domain) - it is not available on any other web site. All Greek words are transliterated into Latin characters. I seem to be noding a bunch of this, starting from the beginning. Would be great if I could find some decent OCR software for MacOS 9.
