whom several of the learned interpreters
of the Scriptural writings take TO have
been Nathaniel OF Cana, in Galilee, doc
tor of the Jewish law and one of the
Seventy-twO disciples of Christ to whom
he was conducted by st. Philip. He car
ried the gospel through the barbarOuS
countries of the east. and even to the re-
mote Indies. He then returned to the
northwestern part of Asia and met
Phillip at HierapoliS, in Phrygia. Then
he was sent to LaycaOnia, where he in
Structed the people. His last removal
was into Great Armenia, where preach
ing in place very much addicted to idol
worship, he suffered martyrdOm. Greek
historians say he was condemned by the
governor of AlbanapoliS, to be crucified.
Others say he was flayed alive. Probably
both means of death were used. as it was
the custom both of the Egyptians and
PerSianS to sometimes use this double
punishment.
