A comparison of Passio Perpetuae 21,2–3 with Martyrium Polycarpi 16,1 and 14,2 suggests a direct relationship between the two texts. The most likely explanation of this relationship is the dependence of Passio Perpetuae upon Martyrium Polycarpi, thus providing a new terminus ante quem for the writing of Martyrium Polycarpi – 213 CE.
