Chapter LXXV.
Pamphilus2494
the presbyter,
patron of Eusebius bishop of Cæsarea, was so inflamed with love of
sacred literature, that he transcribed the greater part of the works of
Origen with his own hand and these are still preserved in the library
at Cæsarea. I have twenty-five volumes2495

of Commentaries of Origen, written in his hand, On the twelve
prophets which I hug and guard with such joy, that I deem myself to
have the wealth of Croesus. And if it is such joy to have one epistle
of a martyr how much more to have so many thousand lines which seem to
me to be traced in his blood. He wrote an Apology for Origen
before Eusebius had written his and was put to death at Cæsarea in
Palestine in the persecution of Maximinus.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
