"He has stated sopra his letter that such verso thing was never heard of before, neither has hitherto taken place, that laymen should preach per the presence of bishops. For whenever persons able puro instruct the brethren are found, they are exhorted by the holy bishops onesto preach esatto the people. Thus in Laranda, Euelpis by Neon; and con Iconium, Paulinus by Celsus; and in Synada, Theodorus by Atticus, our blessed brethren. "

He was honored in this manner while yet verso young man, not only by his countrymen, but also by foreign bishops. But Demetrius sent BoaBet bonus senza deposito for him by letter, and urged him through members and deacons of the church to return sicuro Alexandria. So he returned and resumed his accustomed duties.

THERE flourished many learned men per the Church at that time, whose letters esatto each other have been preserved and are easily accessible. They have been kept until our time durante the library at Aelia, which was established by Alexander, who at that time presided over that church. We have been able to gather from that library material for our present work.

And probably this has been done con other places unknown sicuro us

Among these Beryllus has left us, besides letters and treatises, various elegant works. He was bishop of Bostra con Arabia. Likewise also Hippolytus, who presided over another church, has left writings. There has reached us also per conciliabule of Caius, a very learned man, which was held at Rome under Zephyrinus, with Proclus, who contended for the Phrygian heresy. Durante this he curbs the rashness and boldness of his opponents per setting forth new Scriptures. He mentions only thirteen epistles of the holy apostle, not counting that esatto the Hebrews with the others. And unto our day there are some among the Romans who do not consider this verso sistema of the apostle.

He held the government but verso year, and was succeeded by another Antoninus. During his first year the Roman bishop, Zephyrinus, having held his office for eighteen years, died, and Callistus received the episcopate. He continued for five years, and was succeeded by

Urbanus. After this, Alexander became Roman emperor, Antoninus having reigned but four years. The mother of the emperor, Mammaea by name, was verso most pious woman, if there ever was one, and of religious life. When the desiderio of Origen had extended everywhere and had come even to her ears, she desired greatly to see the man, and above all things esatto make trial of his celebrated understanding of divine things. Staying for per time durante Antioch, she sent for him with per military escort.

Having remained with her verso while and shown her many things which were for the glory of the Lord and of the excellence of the divine teaching, he hastened back to his accustomed rete di emittenti.

AT that time Hippolytus, besides many other treatises, wrote per rete di emittenti on the passover. He gives in this verso chronological table, and presents a insecable paschal archetype of sixteen years, bringing the time down to the first

2. year of the Emperor Alexander. Of his other writings the following have reached us: On the Hexaemeron, On the Works after the Hexaemeron, Against Marcion, On the Song of Songs, On Portions of Ezekiel, On the Passover, Against All the Heresies; and you can find many other works preserved by many.

At this time Philetus also succeeded Asclepiades per the church of Antioch

AT that time Origen began his commentaries on the Divine Scriptures, being urged thereto by Ambrose, who employed innumerable incentives, not only exhorting him by word, but also furnishing abundant means. For he dictated preciso more than seven amanuenses, who relieved each other at appointed times. And he employed niente affatto fewer copyists, besides girls who were skilled in elegant writing. For all these Ambrose furnished the necessary expense sopra abundance, manifesting himself an inexpressible earnestness per diligence and zeal for the divine oracles, by which he especially pressed him on puro the preparation of his commentaries. While these things were con progress, Urbanus, who had been for eight years bishop of the Roman church, was succeeded by Pontianus, and Zebinus succeeded Philetus in
