1:1
Ἄμφι δὲ τὸ δωδέκατον ἔτος τῆς Τραϊανου βασιλείας ὁ μικρῷ πρόσθεν ἡμῖν τῆς ἐν Ἀλεξανδρείῳ παροικίας δηλωθεὶς ἐπίσκοπος τὴν ζωὴν μεταλλάττει, τέταρτος δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων τὴν τῶν αὐτόθι λειτουργίαν κληροῦται Πρῖμος. ἐν τούτῳ καὶ Ἀλέξανμικρῷ δρος ἐπὶ Ῥώμης, ὄγδοον ἔτος ἀποπλρώσαντος πέμπτην ἀπὸ Πέτρου καὶ Παύλου κατάγων διαδοχὴν, τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν ἀπολαμβάνει.
About the twelfth year of the reign of Trajan, the bishop of the diocese of Alexandria, whom we mentioned a little earlier, departed this life, and Primus, the fourth from the apostles, was allotted the ministry of that place. At this time also Alexander received the bishopric at Rome, being the fifth in succession from Peter and Paul, after his predecessor had completed his eighth year.
約在圖拉真皇帝在位第十二年，我們稍前提及的亞歷山大教會的主教辭世，使徒以後第四位的普利模承繼了該地的職事。同時在羅馬，亞歷山大在前任滿了第八年之後，承接了主教之位，他是自彼得與保羅以來的第五代繼承人。
