Ambrosiaster (fl. c. 366-384), commenting on Eph. 4:11-12: Therefore the writings of the apostle do not agree in all things with the ordination which is now in the church because these were written at the very commencement. For he calls Timothy, a presbyter made by him, a bishop also because at first presbyters were called bishops, so that, one receding, the following might succeed him. See Francis Turretin, Institutes of Elenctic Theology, 3 Vols., trans. George Musgrave Giger and ed. James T. Dennison (Phillipsburg: reprinted by Presbyterian and Reformed Publishing Co., 1992), Vol. 3, p. 203. (XVIII.xxi.6).
Latin text: Ideo non per omnia conveniunt scripta Apostoli ordinationi, quae nunc in Ecclesia est; quia haec inter ipsa primordia sunt scripta. Nam et Timotheum presbyterum a se creatum episcopum vocat; quia primi presbyteri episcopi appellabantur; ut recedente eo, sequens ei succederet. In Epistolam B. Pauli ad Ephesios, Caput IV, PL 17:388.
