Timotheus, presbyter in Rome, probably 4th c.

Reference to prosopography: PCBE Italie 2: Timoteus

Chronological and
geographical framework:

buried in Rome (Rome),
Attested presbyterial activity in Rome (Rome),

Discussion:

PCBE joins in one entry the Presbyter Timoteus, known from his epitaph in the cemetery of Hippolytus, with the Presbyter Timotheus who offered inscriptions to his wife and sister in the Coemetrium Maius; it is however noted that this identification is not certain, and J. Rüpke treats them in two separate entries.
