Immediately after Rufus and Zosimus, A. Mellinus
introduces the Ethiopian or eunuch of Queen
Candace in Ethiopia, who was converted by Philip
to the faith in Jesus Christ, and thereupon baptized,
as we read in the Acts of the Apostles.

It is stated of him, from Jerome, that he preached
the Gospel of our Lord in Arabia Felia, and also in
a certain island of the Red Sea, called Caprobano
(some call it Ceylon), where, it is supposed, he suffered
death for the testimony of the truth. See
above, Mellin. ex Hieron. Catal. in Crescente,
in 53, cap. Esai.
