Caius, Presbyter of Rome (also known as ''Gaius'') was a Christian author who lived and wrote towards the beginning of the 3rd century.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03144a.htm ) 〕 Only fragments of his works are known, which are given in the collection entitled ''The Ante-Nicene Fathers.'' However, the Muratorian fragment, an early attempt to establish the canon of the New Testament, is often attributed to Caius and is included in that collection. For the existing fragments from Caius' "Dialogue or Disputation Against Proclus," we are indebted to Eusebius, who included them in his ''Ecclesiastical History''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03144a.htm ) 〕 In one of these fragments, Caius tells Proclus, :"And I can show the trophies of the apostles. For if you choose to go to the Vatican or to the Ostian Road, you will find the trophies of those who founded this church." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf05.v.iii.i.html ) 〕 This is described by the ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' as "a very valuable evidence of the death of Sts. Peter and Paul at Rome, and the public veneration of their remains at Rome about the year 200."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03144a.htm ) 〕 There is also another series of fragments Eusebius gives from a work called "Against the Heresy of Artemon," although the ''Ante-Nicene Fathers'' note says regarding the authorship only that it is "an anonymous work ascribed by some to Caius."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf05.v.iii.ii.html ) 〕 Caius was also one of the authors to whom the "Discourse to the Greeks concerning Hades" was ascribed at one time.〔 (From the website of the (Project on Ancient Cultural Engagement ).)〕 (It was also attributed, much more famously, to Josephus and still appears in editions of the William Whiston translation of his collected works, but is now known to be excerpted from a work by Hippolytus of Rome.)〔 (Part of the (Flavius Josephus Home Page ) of G.J.
