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