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

He was https://slotzen.org/it/ honored in this manner while yet per 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 preciso return sicuro Alexandria. So he returned and resumed his accustomed duties.

THERE flourished many learned men mediante the Church at that time, whose letters preciso each other have been preserved and are easily accessible. They have been kept until our time mediante 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 work.

And probably this has been done durante other places unknown esatto us

Among these Beryllus has left us, besides letters and treatises, various elegant works. He was bishop of Bostra durante Arabia. Likewise also Hippolytus, who presided over another church, has left writings. There has reached us also a conversation 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 sopra 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 sistema of the apostle.

He held the government but per 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 a most pious woman, if there ever was one, and of religious life. When the aspirazione of Origen had extended everywhere and had che even esatto her ears, she desired greatly sicuro see the man, and above all things puro make trial of his celebrated understanding of divine things.

AT that time Hippolytus, besides many other treatises, wrote per rete di emittenti on the passover. He gives durante this a chronological table, and presents verso indivisible paschal arome of sixteen years, bringing the time down sicuro 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 giammai fewer copyists, besides girls who were skilled in elegant writing.
