1:1
Δέκιον οὐδ ὅλον ἐπικρατήσαντα δυοῖν ἐτοῖν χρόνον, αὐτίκα τε ἅμα παισὶ κατασφαγέντα Γάλλος διαδέχεται. Ὠριγένης ἐν τούτῳ ἑνὸς δέοντα τῆς ζωῆς ἑβδομήκοντα ἀποπλήσας ἔτη τελευτᾷ. γράφων γέ τοι ὁ Διονύσιος Ἑρμάμμωνι περὶ τοῦ Γάλλου ταῦτα φάσκει ἀλλ οὐδὲ Γάλλος ἔγνω τὸ Δεκίου κακὸν, οὐδὲ προεσκόπησε τί ποτ ἐκεῖνον ἔσφηλεν, ἀλλὰ πρὸς τὸν αὐτὸν πρὸ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν αὐτοῦ γενόμενον ἔπταισε λίθον. ὃς εὖ φερομένης αὐτῷ τῆς βασιλείας, καὶ κατὰ νοῦν χωρούντων τῶν πραγμάτων, τοὺς ἱεροὺς ἄνδρας περὶ τῆς εἰρήνης αὐτοῦ καὶ τῆς ὑγιείας πρεσβεύοντας βεύοντας πρὸς τὸν θεὸν ἤλασεν. οὐκοῦν σὺν ἐκείνοις ἐδίωξε καὶ τὰς ὑπὲρ ἑαυτοῦ προσευχάς. ταῦτα μὲν οὑν περὶ τοῦδε.
Decius, having held power not even two full years, was at once slain together with his sons, and Gallus succeeded him. At this time Origen died, having completed the seventieth year of his life save one. Indeed, writing to Hermammon concerning Gallus, Dionysius says this: “But neither did Gallus recognize the evil of Decius, nor did he foresee what it was that had brought that man down; rather, he stumbled against the very same stone that lay before his eyes. For when his reign was prospering and affairs were proceeding according to his mind, he drove away the holy men who were interceding before God for his peace and his health. And so, together with them, he banished also the prayers offered on his own behalf.” So much, then, concerning this man.
德西烏執政尚不滿兩年，便立刻連同他的諸子一同被殺，加路斯繼承了他。此時，奧利根享壽七十歲差一年而逝世。丟尼修致信給赫爾馬蒙論及加路斯時，這樣說：「然而加路斯既不認清德西烏的禍患，也不預先鑒察是何事使那人傾覆；反倒在那擺在他眼前的同一塊石頭上絆跌了。當他的國政順遂、諸事稱心之時，他竟驅逐那些在神面前為他的平安與健康代求的聖者。如此，他連同他們，把那些為他自己所獻的祈禱也一併驅逐了。」關於此人，就說這些。
