Andreas of Cappadocia
Andrew of Caesarea
Bishop of that see in Cappadocia, assigned by Krumbacher to the first half of the sixth century, though he is yet variously placed by others from the fifth to the ninth century. His principal work is a commentary on the Apocalypse (P.G. CVI, 215-458, 1387-94), important as the first commentary on the book that has come down to us, also as the source from which most of its later commentators have drawn. The writer differs from most of the Byzantine commentators by reason of his extensive acquaintance with early patristic literature.
(On Revelation 6:12)
"There are not wanting those who apply this passage to the siege and destruction of Jerusalem by Titus."
(On Revelation 7:1)
"These things are referred by some to those sufferings which were inflicted by the Romans upon the Jews."
(On Revelation 7:2)
"Although these things happened in part to Jewish Christians, who escaped the evils inflicted on Jerusalem by the Romans, yet they more probably refer to Anti-christ."
