Text
Ἔτος δ’ ἦν τοῦτο δέκατον τῆς δηλουμένης ἡγεμονίας, καθ’ ὃ τὴν ἀπ’ Ἀλεξανδρείας μετανάστασιν ἐπὶ τὴν Καισάρειαν ὁ Ὠριγένης ποιησάμενος, Ἡρακλᾷ τὸ τῆς κατηχήσεως τῶν αὐτόθι διδασκαλεῖον καταλείπει. οὐκ εἰς μακρὸν δὲ καὶ Δημήτριος ὁ τῆς Ἀλεξανδρέων ἐκκλησίας ἐπίσκοπος τελευτᾷ, ἐφ’ ὅλοις ἔτεσι τρισὶ καὶ τεσσαράκοντα τῇ λειτουργίᾳ διαρκέσας· διαδέχεται δ’ αὐτὸν ὁ Ἡρακλᾶς. διέπρεπε δὲ ἐν τούτῳ Φιρμιλλιανὸς, Καισαρείας τῆς Καππαδοκῶν ἐπίσκοπος,1
Translation
But this must suffice on these matters. Now it was in the tenth year of the above-mentioned reign that Origen removed from Alexandria to Caesarea, leaving to Heraclas the Catechetical School for those in the city. And not long afterwards Demetrius, the bishop of the church of the Alexandrians, died, having continued in the ministry for forty-three entire years. He was succeeded by Heraclas. Now at this time Firmilian, bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia, was distinguished.2
