Translation

2 Gaius compiled [1] these things from the writings of Irenaeus, a student of Polycarp, who also lived together with Irenaeus.

[1] μετεγράψατο copy, transcribe (BAGD, 510). In book-keeping to transfer to another account (LSJ). to write differently, to alter or correct what one has written (H.G. Liddell, A Lexicon : Abridged from Liddell and Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon, 501).
