The honest ledger

Figures Attested Once

455 of the archive’s 1,152 figures are known from a single surviving attestation. They are kept, and marked, rather than padded out with what later tradition supplied.

455 figures · each with its basis stated

Why a page for this

Several mentions in one author enrich a record but do not lift a figure out of single attestation, and where history is silent beyond one line the archive says so instead of writing a life around it. Every entry below names the one source and why nothing further can be added.

The Apostolic Age

AD 4–70 · 23 figures
  1. AD 1Anna the Prophetessfl. c. AD 1, aged 84 (death unrecorded)Luke 2:36–38 only, which gives her father, her tribe, her widowhood and her age; no later source adds anything to it.
  2. AD 14Caesar AugustusExternal63 BC – AD 14One mention in this archive by design: Luke 2:1 is the single place the New Testament names him. The reign is documented at length outside the archive’s scope; the archive holds only the point at which he enters the Christian record.
  3. AD 29Lysanias of AbileneExternalfl. AD 29 (dates otherwise unrecorded)Luke 3:1 only, in the synchronism that dates the Baptist’s preaching. Named for chronology rather than for anything he did, and attested nowhere else in the Christian record.
  4. AD 32Bartimaeusfl. c. AD 32 (death unrecorded)Mark 10:46–52 only. Matthew and Luke tell the same healing without the name, so the name itself rests on one evangelist.
  5. AD 33Mary of Clopasfl. c. AD 33 (death unrecorded)John 19:25 only, where she stands at the cross; the Synoptics name women at the same place but not this one, and no source within the horizon distinguishes her again.
  6. AD 33Susannafl. c. AD 30 (death unrecorded)Luke 8:3 only, in the list of women who supported the ministry out of their own means; named nowhere else in scripture or in any later source.
  7. AD 58TertullusExternalfl. AD 58Acts 24:2–8 only, where he opens the case against Paul before Felix; the advocate is named once and does not reappear.
  8. AD 60Simeon called Nigerfl. c. 46 (death unrecorded)Named once, Acts 13:1; no later source distinguishes him again.
  9. AD 62Alexander, son of Simon of Cyrenefl. c. 30–60 (death unrecorded)Mark 15:21 only within the horizon (the Kidron ossuary is archaeology, not literature).
  10. AD 62Judas called Barsabbasfl. c. 49 (death unrecorded)One episode (Acts 15:22–33); vv. 22 and 32 are a single occasion, not two attestations.
  11. AD 62Manaenfl. c. 46 (death unrecorded)Acts 13:1 only; the foster-brother of Antipas appears in no later text within the horizon.
  12. AD 64Gaius of Macedoniafl. c. 55 (death unrecorded)Acts 19:29 only; distinct from the Gaii of Derbe, Corinth, and 3 John.
  13. AD 64Titius Justusfl. c. 51 (death unrecorded)Acts 18:7 only.
  14. AD 65Damaris of Athensfl. c. 50 (death unrecorded)Acts 17:34 only; later tradition making her Dionysius's wife is post-antique.
  15. AD 65Gaius of Derbefl. c. 57 (death unrecorded)Acts 20:4 only.
  16. AD 65Nympha of Laodiceafl. c. 62 (death unrecorded)Colossians 4:15 only.
  17. AD 65Philetusfl. c. AD 65 (death unrecorded)2 Timothy 2:17 only, named beside Hymenaeus for the teaching the letter rejects — one of the archive’s cases where a single mention is a condemnation.
  18. AD 65Secundus of Thessalonicafl. c. 57 (death unrecorded)Acts 20:4 only — class-A role, but history is silent after the collection voyage.
  19. AD 66Artemasfl. c. 63 (death unrecorded)Titus 3:12 only; the Lystra episcopate belongs to the late pseudo-Dorothean lists, outside the horizon.
  20. AD 66Jesus called Justusfl. c. 62 (death unrecorded)Colossians 4:11 only.
  21. AD 66Phygelusfl. c. 65 (death unrecorded)2 Timothy 1:15 only; unlike Hermogenes he is absent from the Acts of Paul.
  22. AD 67Eubulus of Romefl. c. 66 (death unrecorded)2 Timothy 4:21 only.
  23. AD 68Mnason of Cyprusfl. c. 57 (death unrecorded)Acts 21:16 only.

The Apostolic Fathers

AD 70–130 · 14 figures
  1. AD 92Antipas of Pergamumd. c. 92 (trad., under Domitian)Revelation 2:13 only; his cult's literary trail (Andrew of Caesarea) begins after the c. 500 horizon.

  4. AD 100Gaius, Friend of the Elderfl. c. 90 (death unrecorded)3 John only; the Constitutions' Gaius of Pergamum is not securely the same man.

  6. AD 104Aristiond. early 2nd c.Papias (via Eusebius III.39) only within the horizon; the Armenian gospel colophon naming 'Ariston the elder' is a 10th-century echo.
  7. AD 105The Grandsons of Judefl. c. 95 – c. 107Hegesippus alone (via Eusebius III.19–20, 32); no independent line of transmission exists.
  8. AD 110Damas of Magnesiafl. c. 108 (death unrecorded)Ignatius only (To the Magnesians 2–3); a single author attests him.

  10. AD 155Statius QuadratusExternalfl. c. 155 (Proconsul of Asia)Martyrdom of Polycarp 21 only within Christian literature; the consular fasti are documentary, not attestation.

  12. AD 160Justinus the GnosticExternalfl. 2nd century (death unrecorded)Hippolytus alone (Refutation V.24–27) preserves the Book of Baruch.
  13. AD 160Philip the AsiarchExternalAsiarch at Smyrna, AD 155Martyrdom of Polycarp 12 & 21 only; the Vita Polycarpi is of debated date and adds nothing independent.

  22. AD 178CelsusExternalfl. c. 175 – 180 (True Word composed c. 178)Origen alone preserves The True Word; Lucian's addressee of the same name is a debated identification.
