Editing Papias of Hierapolis (section)

===Death of John===

Two late sources ([[Philip of Side]] and [[George Hamartolos|George Hamartolus]]) cite the second book of Papias as claiming that [[John the Apostle|John]] was killed by the Jews.<ref>{{harvp|Holmes|2006|p=312 (Fragments 5–6)}} For Philip of Side, cf.
