A Glaring Omission
in the History of the Church by Eusebius that has not been addressed by people who should know. Eusebius doesn’t mention Antipas in his Church History but the word ‘martyr’ can be found 355 times. He does mention Carpus and Papylus, two martyrs of Pergamus but he does not mention Antipas. He mentions six of the seven churches but never associates them with the Apocalypse.

A Revelation
that will allow you to play along at home. You won’t have to search old books at old libraries. You can search online like I do now. Some of my sources:
Tertullian 240 AD (does know churches and Antipas but not Patmos)
Victorinus 304 AD (does not know churches or Antipas but knows Patmos)
Eusebius 340 AD (does not know churches, or Antipas but knows Patmos)
Somebody made it available for all to see. Go ahead and check it out.

A Reasonable Explanation
for Eusebius and Victorinus not knowing about Antipas and the seven churches of the Apocalypse. They were looking at the first version of the Apocalypse written by John the Baptist. Seriously.

A Valuable Source
for writings of the Church Fathers. It includes Victorinus whose commentary does not include Antipas and the seven churches of the Apocalypse. Since Eusebius has the same problem, this needs to be addressed but so far hasn’t been.

A Historian
is also online and can be searched. What he didn’t know is most interesting. Like Antipas and the seven churches of the Apocalypse. Stuff like that can’t be known just by reading his book and should be addressed. So far it hasn’t been.
