DRAFT Jerome of Stridon compares the Church to Noah's Ark, with the deacons, presbyters and bishops at its summit. Jerome, The Dialogue Against the Luciferians, written probably in Antioch, ca AD 379.
22. Similiter et Ecclesia, multis gradibus consistens, ad extremum diaconis, presbyteris episcopis que finitur.
 
(ed. Canellis 2000: 57)
22. The construction of the ark was such that it began with being thirty cubits broad and gradually narrowed to one. Similarly the Church, consisting of many grades, ends in deacons, presbyters, and bishops.
