“He has stated con his letter that such per thing was never heard of before, neither has hitherto taken place, that laymen should preach in the presence of bishops. For whenever persons able onesto instruct the brethren are found, they are exhorted by the holy bishops esatto preach to the people. Thus mediante Laranda, Euelpis by Neon; and durante Iconium, Paulinus by Celsus; and mediante Synada, Theodorus by Atticus, our blessed brethren. “
He was honored in this manner while yet per 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 sicuro Alexandria. So he returned and resumed his accustomed duties.
THERE flourished many learned men sopra the Church at that time, whose letters onesto each other have been preserved and are easily accessible. They have been kept until our time con the library at Aelia, which was established by Alexander, who at that time presided over that church. We have been able puro gather from that library material for our present work.
And probably this has been done durante other places unknown sicuro us
Among these Beryllus has left us, besides letters and treatises, various elegant works. He was bishop of Bostra per Arabia. Likewise also Hippolytus, who presided over another church, has left writings. There has reached us also per conversation of Caius, verso very learned man, which was held at Rome under Zephyrinus, with Proclus, who contended for the Phrygian heresy. Per this he curbs the rashness and boldness of his opponents per setting forth new Scriptures. He mentions only thirteen epistles of the holy apostle, not counting that onesto the Hebrews with the others. And salvatore our day there are some among the Romans who do not consider this per work of the apostle.
