Were Ignatius and Polycarp friends?

[Thirdwoe]

They were fellow Bishops in the late 1st, to early 2nd century. Ignatius was the Bishop of Antioch in Syria, and Polycarp, who was younger, was Bishop of Smyrna in Asia Minor, where Bishop Ignatius was traveling through to his Martyrdom about 115 A.D. at the hands of the Romans... He was about 90 years old at the time.

Is that letter in Aramaic?
