It extends from the lateral side of the elbow to the thumb side of the wrist and runs parallel to the ulna. The ulna is longer than the radius, but the radius is thicker. The radius is a long bone, prism-shaped and slightly curved longitudinally.
Quadratus of Athens was an early Christian apologist, traditionally regarded as a disciple of the Apostles and one of the Seventy Apostles. He is celebrated as one of the earliest Christian apologists, best known for presenting an apology to Emperor Hadrian during his visit to Athens around 124–125 CE. His work, which defended the Christian faith against its critics, highlighted the enduring impact of Jesus' miracles through firsthand testimony. Quadratus is also associated with the apostolic tradition and is recognized as the Bishop of Athens, succeeding Saint Publius. His feast day is observed on May 26 in the Roman Catholic Church and September 21 in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
