other · 57 · Caesarea Maritima
Twenty years later Luke's we-narrative reaches Caesarea and stays in his house: we entered the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him. He had four unmarried daughters, who prophesied. The sentence matters beyond Philip. When Polycrates of Ephesus wrote to Rome around 190 defending the Asian date of Pascha, he named Philip of the twelve apostles as buried at Hierapolis with daughters who grew old as virgins — and the daughters are the tell. Either Polycrates has conflated the two men, or one of the very earliest claims about an apostolic grave belongs to a deacon. This dataset keeps them as separate persons and says so on both pages.
The one passage that keeps the two Philips apart.
