From the previous destruction by Titus, to this one, fifty-three years had passed. Soon Jerusalem was populated by Greeks. But seeing that Christians used to go to pray to the place of garbage, under which the Holy Sepulchre was found, and the place called The Skull, the Greeks prevented this and built on that place of garbage a temple dedicated to Venus; this was so that no Christian could go any more close to the unclean place (49). In the sixth year of the reign of Hadrian, Hyginus was made patriarch of Rome (50). He held the office for four years and died. In the tenth year of his reign Marcus was made patriarch of Rome (51). He held the office for fifteen years and died. In the ninth year of his reign Cornelius was made patriarch of Antioch. https://www.roger-pearse.com/weblog/wp- ... Pearse.pdf
