I have twenty-five volumes 2495 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 C\u00e6sarea in Palestine in the persecution of Maximinus.\nvolumes A H 31 a e 10 21 Val.; omit T 25 30 Her.","title":"Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ser.
