Ahah !  So he refuted the claim that there was no church in Thyatira in
the late 1st century !  That would mean that Aune is misleading in his
commentary (WBC 52a, p. 201) when he states 

"According to a writing attributed to the Alogoi (a Christian sect in
Asia Minor that was opposed to Montanism), a Christian Church did not
exist in Thyatira in the late first century when John wrote (Epiphanius
Pan. 51.33.1)."

Thanks.
