A Letter from Origen to Africanus.: 33

33 1 Chron. xvi. 8.

34 Ex. xxxv. 2; Num. xv. 32; Jer. xvii. 21-24.

35 In Levit. passim; Ezek. xliii. xliv. xlv. xlvi.

1 This Gregory, styled the Wonder-worker, (Thaumaturgus) was afterwards bishop of Neo- Caesarea.

2 Origen evidently confounds Hadad the Edomite, of 1 Kings xi. 14, with Jeroboam.

4 John x. 3.

5 Matt. vii. 7.

6 Luke xi. 9.

7 Heb. iii. 14.

1 This individual is mentioned by Eusebius (Eccles. Hist., vi. c. 18) as having been converted from the heresy of Valentinus to the faith of the Church by the efforts of Origen. [Lardner (Credib., vii. 210-212) is inclined to "place" Celsus in the year 176. Here and elsewhere this learned authority is diffuse on the subject, and merits careful attention.]
