30:1
Τῷ δὲ Ὠριγένει ἐπὶ τῆς Καισαρείας τὰ συνήθη πράττοντι πολλοὶ προσῄεσαν οὐ μόνον τῶν ἐπιχωρίων, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς ἀλλοδαπῆς μυρίοι φοιτηταὶ τὰς πατρίδας ἀπολιπόντες, ὧν ἐπισήμους μάλιστα ἔγνωμεν Θεόδωρον, ὃς ἦν αὐτὸς οὗτος ὁ καθ ἡμὰς ἐπισκόπων διαβόητος Γρηγόριος, τόν τε τούτου ἀδελφὸν Ἀθηνόδωρον, οὓς ἀμφὶ τὰ Ἑλλήνων καὶ Ῥωμαίων μαθήματα δεινῶς ἐπτοημένους, φιλοσοφίας αὐτοῖς ἐνθεὶς ἔρωτα, τῆς προτέρας σπουδῆς τὴν θείαν ἄσκησιν ἀντικαταλλάξασθαι προυτρέψατο. πέντε δὲ ὅλοις ἔτεσιν αὐτῷ συγγενόμενοι τοσαύτην ἀπηνέγκαντο περὶ τὰ θεῖα βελτίωσιν ὡς ἔτι νέους ἄμφω ἐπισκοπῆς τῶν κατὰ Πόντον ἐκκλησιῶν ἀξιωθῆναι.
Now while Origen was carrying on his accustomed labours at Caesarea, many came to him, not only of the natives, but also countless pupils from foreign parts, who had left their own homelands. Of these we know to have been especially distinguished Theodore, who was that very same renowned bishop of our day, Gregory, and his brother Athenodore. These two were strongly enamoured of Greek and Roman studies; but Origen, instilling into them a passion for philosophy, urged them to exchange their former zeal for the practice of divine things. Continuing with him five whole years, they made such progress in divine things that, while both still young, they were deemed worthy of the episcopate of the churches in Pontus.
當俄利根在該撒利亞從事他素常的勞作時，許多人來到他這裡，不僅有本地人，還有無數從外地離開本鄉而來的門徒。在這些人中，我們所知最為出眾的，乃是提奧多若，就是我們這時代那位名聞遐邇的主教貴格利，並他的兄弟亞特諾多若。這二人原本極熱衷於希臘和羅馬的學問，俄利根卻把對哲學的熱愛灌注給他們，催促他們以對神聖之事的操練，來換取從前的熱忱。他們與他相處整整五年，在神聖之事上大有長進，以致二人雖仍年輕，便都被視為配得本都諸教會主教之職。
