27:1
τοσαύτην εἰσάγων περὶ τὸν Ὠριγένην σπουδὴν ὡς τοτὲ μὲν αὐτὸν ἀμφὶ τὰ κατ αὐτὸν κλίματα εἰς τὴν τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν ὠφέλειαν ἐκκαλεῖσθαι, τοτὲ δὲ ὡς αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὴν Ἰουδαίαν στέλλεσθαι, καί τινας αὐτῷ συνδιατρίβειν χρόνους, τῆς εἰς τὰ θεῖα βελτιώσεως ἕνεκα. οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ ὁ τῆς Ιεροσολύμων προεστὼς Ἀλέξανδρος, Θεόκτιστός τε ὁ κατὰ Καισάρειαν, τὸν πάντα χρόνον ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν προσανέχοντες αὐτῷ οἷα διδασκάλῳ μόνῳ, τὰ τῆς τῶν θείων γραφῶν ἑρμηνείας καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ τοῦ ἐκκλησιαστικοῦ λόγου πράττειν συνεχώρουν.
他對俄利根懷有這樣的熱忱，以致有時把他召到自己的地境，為使眾教會得益處；有時又親自前往猶太，與他相處一段時日，好使自己在神聖之事上更得長進。不僅如此，主理耶路撒冷教會的亞歷山大，以及主理該撒利亞的提奧克提斯托，可說自始至終都在他門下，奉他為唯一的教師，並把講解神聖聖經以及教會其餘訓誨的職事交託給他。
displaying such zeal concerning Origen that at one time he would summon him to his own regions for the benefit of the churches, and at another would himself journey to Judaea and spend some time with him for his betterment in divine things. Nay more, Alexander, who presided over the church of Jerusalem, and Theoctistus, who presided at Caesarea, attending upon him, one may say, the whole time as their only teacher, conceded to him the task of expounding the divine Scriptures and the other parts of the Church's instruction.
