Though little evidence has been available for understanding how these tables were used by Greek writers, Matthew Crawford presents his discovery of a letter by Severus of Antioch who used Eusebius’ complicated system to help a colleague understand a Matthean variant of the piercing of Jesus’ side. Severus’ exegetical instructions are significant in demonstrating how gospel reading became a formal ecclesial practice aided by sophisticated tools and assumptions about the Fourfold Gospel in the Christian canon.
