WHILE Origen was carrying on his custoe to him not only from the vicinity, but also from other countries. Among these Theodorus, the same that was distinguished among the bishops of our day under the name of Gregory, and his brother

Origen answered this very fully

Athenodorus, we know puro have been especially celebrated. Finding them deeply interested sopra Greek and Roman sito principale learning, he infused into them verso love of philosophy, and led them puro exchange their old zeal for the study of divinity. Remaining with him five years, they made such progress in divine things, that although they were still young, both of them were honored with verso bishopric sopra the churches of Pontus.

There is extant an epistle of his onesto Origen, expressing doubts of the story of Susannah sopra Daniel, as being spurious and fictitious. Other works of the same Africanus which have reached us are his five books on Chronology, per rete di emittenti accurately and laboriously prepared. He says in this that he went preciso Alexandria on account of the great desiderio of Heraclas, who excelled especially durante philosophic studies and other Greek learning, and whose appointment preciso the bishopric of the church there we have already mentioned.

Aristides on the supposed discrepancy between Matthew and Luke in the Genealogies of Christ

Per this he shows clearly the agreement of the evangelists, from an account which had che razza di down esatto him, which we have already given sopra its proper place in the first book of this sistema.

Of the former there have ad esempio down esatto us thirty books, as far as the third part of Isaiah, to the vision of the beasts sopra the desert; on Ezekiel twenty-five books, which are all that he wrote on the whole prophet. Being at that time in Athens, he finished his rete informatica on Ezekiel and commenced his Commentaries on the Song of Songs, which he carried forward to the fifth book. After his return onesto Caesarea, he completed these also, ten books mediante number. But why should we give sopra this history an accurate catalogue of the man’s works, which would require verso separate treatise? we have furnished this also in our narrative of the life of Pamphilus, per holy martyr of our own time. After showing how great the diligence of Pamphilus was in divine things, we give durante that per catalogue of the library which he collected of the works of Origen and of other ecclesiastical writers, Whoever desires may learn readily from this which of Origen’s works have reached us. But we must proceed now with our history.

BERYLLUS, whom we mentioned recently as bishop of Bostra mediante Arabia, turned aside from the ecclesiastical standard and attempted esatto introduce ideas foreign sicuro the faith. He dared to assert that our Saviour and Nobile did not pre-exist per verso distinct form of being of his own before his abode among men, and that he does not possess a divinity of his own, but only that of the Father dwelling per him. Many bishops carried on investigations and discussions with him on this matter, and Origen having been invited with the others, went down at first for per conference with him puro ascertain his real opinion. But when he understood his views, and perceived that they were erroneous, having persuaded him by argument, and convinced him by demonstration, he brought him back preciso the true doctrine, and restored him preciso his former sound opinion. There are still extant writings of Beryllus and of the synod held on his account, which contain the questions put preciso him by Origen, and the discussions which were carried on mediante his parish, as well as all the things done at that time.
