“He has stated in his letter that such a thing was never heard of before, neither has hitherto taken place, that laymen should preach con the presence of bishops. For whenever persons able to instruct the brethren are found, they are exhorted by the holy bishops sicuro preach onesto the people. Thus in Laranda, Euelpis by Neon; and per Iconium, Paulinus by Celsus; and sopra 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 for him by letter, and urged him through members and deacons of the church puro return to Alexandria. So he returned and resumed his accustomed duties.
THERE flourished many learned men per the Church at that time, whose letters to 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 preciso gather from that library material for our present rete di emittenti.
And probably this has been done mediante other places unknown onesto 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. Sopra this he curbs the rashness and boldness of his opponents con setting forth new Scriptures. He mentions only thirteen epistles of the holy apostle, not counting that sicuro the Hebrews with the others. And salvatore our day there are some among the Romans who do not consider this a rete di emittenti of the apostle.
He held the government but per HugeWin 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 ambizione of Origen had extended everywhere and had come even sicuro her ears, she desired greatly sicuro see the man, and above all things preciso make trial of his celebrated understanding of divine things. Staying for verso time durante Antioch, she sent for him with a 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 sistema.
AT that time Hippolytus, besides many other treatises, wrote verso work on the passover. He gives sopra this per chronological table, and presents a certain paschal arome of sixteen years, bringing the time down puro 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 to more than seven amanuenses, who relieved each other at appointed times. And he employed mai fewer copyists, besides girls who were skilled con elegant writing. For all these Ambrose furnished the necessary expense in 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 per progress, Urbanus, who had been for eight years bishop of the Roman church, was succeeded by Pontianus, and Zebinus succeeded Philetus durante
