To hell with explaining this to people. If you can't figure out the title of the thread you're not going to care. http://www.biblindex.info/citation_biblique/?lang=en
Investigating the roots of western civilization (ye olde BC&H forum of IIDB lives on...)

You have to play around with it a ton. It's tricky. You have to fill in everything even the dots the "perfect" way. It's extremely picky.davidbrainerd wrote:It doesn't work. The search button remains greyed out no matter what I choose in the "Corpus of ancient author(s) to be investigated" section.
You have to look at the correct version, which is given above. I highlighted it for you. The relevant fragments appear on pages 133-140 of that work, and you can see from the "hit" that the fragment you want is on page 138 specifically. If you do not have access to that book, then it will be more difficult for you, I myself do not usually have access to that version of Papias' fragments, so when I use Biblindex I have to apply a bit of savvy, and even then it does not always work. My best guess in this case is that the allusion is based on Jesus calling the disciples "children" in John 21.5, which corresponds to a preserved fragment from Maximus the Confessor, Scholia on Dionysius the Areopagite, On the Ecclesiastical Heirarchy 2 (Lightfoot-Holmes fragment 15; Roberts-Donaldson fragment 2): "They would call children those who practiced no evil according to God, as Papias makes clear in the first book of the Exegeses of the Lord, along with Clement the Alexandrian in the Pedagogue." But I may be wrong.rakovsky wrote:It would be helpful if it would be clearer in its pointing of where to go to find the citations that it gives.
For example, for John 21, it points to:
Papias Hierapolitanus
Explanationes uerborum dominicorum (1) (p.138, l.4) BP1
Date: ca.101 - ca.150
Genre: -
Theme: Exegesis, Scripture Commentaries
Clavis: 1047
Biblio:
FUNK F.X., BIHLMEYER K., Die apostolischen Väter, Neubearbeitung der Funkschen Ausgabe, 2e éd., Tübingen 1956, 133-140.
So then I go look at Papias' work online, which is 10 sections long and I don't see any direct quotations of John 21.
