Fragments of Papias 8

1But thus says Papias—I quote him word for word:

2“To some of them, clearly the angels which at first were holy, He gave dominion also over the arrangement of the universe; He commissioned them to exercise their dominion well.”

3And he says next:

4“But it so befel that their array came to nought; for the gre[at] dragon, the old serpent, who is also called Satan and the devi, was cast down, yea, and was cast down to the earth, he and h[is] angels.”

5Andreas of Caesarea, in Apocalypsin, c. 34, serm. 12.
