«He has stated sopra his letter that such per thing was never heard of before, neither has hitherto taken place, that laymen should preach per the presence of bishops. For whenever persons able to instruct the brethren are found, they are exhorted by the holy bishops onesto preach preciso the people. Thus con Laranda, Euelpis by Neon; and mediante Iconium, Paulinus by Celsus; and mediante Synada, Theodorus by Atticus, our blessed brethren. «
He was honored sito ufficiale di spintime in this manner while yet verso young man, not only by his countrymen, but also by foreign bishops. But Demetrius sent for him by letter, and urged him through members and deacons of the church to return to Alexandria. So he returned and resumed his accustomed duties.
THERE flourished many learned men mediante the Church at that time, whose letters onesto each other have been preserved and are easily accessible. They have been kept until our time sopra the library at Aelia, which was established by Alexander, who at that time presided over that church. We have been able onesto gather from that library material for our present sistema.
And probably this has been done mediante other places unknown esatto us
Among these Beryllus has left us, besides letters and treatises, various elegant works. He was bishop of Bostra in Arabia. Likewise also Hippolytus, who presided over another church, has left writings. There has reached us also per tete-a-tete of Caius, a very learned man, which was held at Rome under Zephyrinus, with Proclus, who contended for the Phrygian heresy. Mediante 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 to the Hebrews with the others. And redentore our day there are some among the Romans who do not consider this per work 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 per most pious woman, if there ever was one, and of religious life. When the fame of Origen had extended everywhere and had come even to her ears, she desired greatly onesto see the man, and above all things to make trial of his celebrated understanding of divine things. Staying for per time per Antioch, she sent for him with a military escort.
Having remained with her per while and shown her many things which were for the glory of the Raffinato and of the excellence of the divine teaching, he hastened back preciso his accustomed sistema.
AT that time Hippolytus, besides many other treatises, wrote per sistema on the passover. He gives mediante this per chronological table, and presents a insecable paschal canon of sixteen years, bringing the time down onesto 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 in 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 puro more than seven amanuenses, who relieved each other at appointed times. And he employed in nessun caso fewer copyists, besides girls who were skilled mediante elegant writing. For all these Ambrose furnished the necessary expense con abundance, manifesting himself an inexpressible earnestness in diligence and zeal for the divine oracles, by which he especially pressed him on esatto 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 per
