Hyppolitus of Thebes

Hippolytus of Thebes was a Byzantine author of the late 7th or early 8th century. His Chronicle, preserved only in part, is an especially valuable source for New Testament chronology.

Preserved fragments are scattered in about 40 manuscripts, mostly dealing with the Holy Family. Thus, according to the Chronicle, Jesus was crucified in AD 30, and

dying in AD 41.[1]

The Chronicle is cited twice in the "short chronological notes" compiled under Constantine V (r. 741–775).

Ascension, Mary continued to live in Jerusalem in a house bought by John the Apostle with the inheritance from his father Zebedee. This tradition of a house of Mary in Jerusalem is first alluded to by Sophronius of Jerusalem (d. 638). Based on such evidence, the floruit
of Hippolytus is placed roughly between AD 650 and 750.

The first edition of extant portions of the Chronicle was published by Emmanuel Schelstrate in 1692.[2] The text was again edited by Migne in Patrologia Graeca (PG 117, col. 1025–1056). Two critical editions have been published by Diekamp in German (1898)[3] and Curtin in English (2023) [4] .
