Origen answered this very fully

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

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

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

Per this he shows clearly the agreement of the evangelists, from an account which had ad esempio down sicuro him, which we have already given mediante its proper place mediante the first book of this rete di emittenti.

Of the former there have ad esempio down esatto us thirty books, as far as the third part of Isaiah, preciso the vision of the beasts per the desert; on Ezekiel twenty-five books, which are all that he wrote on the whole prophet. Being at that time per Athens, he finished his work on Ezekiel and commenced his Commentaries on the Song of Songs, which he carried forward esatto the fifth book. After his return sicuro Caesarea, he completed these also, ten books sopra number.

BERYLLUS, whom we mentioned recently as bishop of Bostra mediante Arabia, turned aside from the ecclesiastical canone and attempted esatto introduce ideas foreign sicuro the faith. He dared esatto assert that our Saviour and Lord did not pre-exist con verso distinct form of being of his own before his abode among men, and that he does not possess verso divinity of his own, but only that of the Father dwelling sopra him.

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 sicuro the true doctrine, and restored him sicuro his former sound opinion. There are still extant writings of Beryllus and of the synod held on his account, which contain the questions put esatto him by Origen, and the discussions which were carried on in his parish, as well as all the things done at that time.
