ὧν ὁ κορυφαῖος καὶ τῇ τοῦ κατὰ Καισάρειαν πρεσβείου τιμῇ κεκοσμημένος μόνος ἐτύγχανεν ὁ Πάμφιλος, ἀνὴρ καὶ παρ ὅλον αὐτοῦ τὸν βίον πάσῃ διαπρέψας ἀρετῇ, ἀποτάξει καὶ καταφρονήσει βίου, τῇ τῆς οὐσίας εἰς ἐνδεεῖς κοινωνίᾳ, κοσμικῶν ἐλπίδων ὀλιγωρίᾳ, φιλοσόφῳ πολιτείᾳ καὶ ἀσκήσει· μάλιστα δὲ παρὰ τοὺς καθ ἡμᾶς πάντας διέπρεπε τῇ περὶ τὰ θεῖα λόγια γνησιωτάτῃ σπουδῇ, ἀτρύτῳ τε περὶ ἃ προύθετο φιλοπονίᾳ , καὶ τῇ περὶ τοὺς προσήκοντας καὶ πάντας τοὺς αὐτῷ πλησιάζοντας ὠφελείᾳ·1
Translation
Of these the leader and the only one honored with the position of presbyter at Caesarea, was Pamphilus; a man who through his entire life was celebrated for every virtue, for renouncing and despising the world, for sharing his possessions with the needy, for contempt of earthly hopes, and for philosophic deportment and exercise. He especially excelled all in our time in most sincere devotion to the divine scriptures and indefatigable industry in whatever he undertook, and in his helpfulness to his relatives and associates.2
