* Although Andreas of Caesarea is believed to have flourished around the year 840, we have judged that the Commentary which he wrote on the book of the Apocalypse should be transferred here, so that it may be more easily compared with the Commentary which Arethas, himself Archbishop of Caesarea and disciple of Andreas, composed on the same book. Both authors agree with each other in some respects, and especially in the division of chapters; but almost everywhere they diverge from one another. Andreas writes in a sober manner, Arethas more diffusely; yet both solidly explain the meaning of the Apocalypse. If one must be preferred to the other, I would think that Andreas is superior to his disciple, not only because he seems to have transcribed the ancient masters—St. Irenaeus, St. Hippolytus, and St. Methodius—more faithfully, but also because he adheres more closely to the literal sense of Holy Scripture. Learned men will therefore be able to benefit from the labors of both writers.
