1892 (historical English edition; transcription printing date uncertain) | Historical editor/translator (individual note author unspecified)

Sent presumably at the same time as the preceding. Nothing is recorded of Longinus. It will be remembered that the name, recorded also in the Acts of Linus as that of an officer commanding the executioners of St. Paul, is assigned by tradition to the soldier who wounded the Saviour’s side.
