        3. Others have translated Origen. Why does he single me out?p. 1285
        4. He gave me fictitious praise in his Preface to the Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν. Now, since I defend myself, he writes 3 books against me as an enemy.p. 1286

        8. My translation put away ambiguities, and showed the real character of the book, and of the previous translation.p. 1290
        9. My translation of Origen's Commentaries created no excitement; his first translation, of Pamphilus' Apology, roused all Rome to indignation.p. 1291
        10. But the work was really Eusebius's, who tells us that Pamphilus wrote nothing.p. 1292
        11. After the condemnation of Origen by Theophilus and Anastasius, it would be wise in Rufinus to give up this pretended defence.p. 1293
        12. I had praised Eusebius as well as Origen only as writers; and was forced to condemn them as heretics. Why should this be taken amiss?p. 1294

        31. To the charge of reading secular books I reply that I remember what I learned in youth.p. 1318

        1. Summary of the Chapters.p. 1324
        2. A criticism on Rufinus' Apology to Anastasius. His excuses for not coming to Rome are absurd. His parents are dead and the journey is easy. No one ever heard before of his being imprisoned or exiled for the faith.p. 1326
        3. A criticism on Rufinus' Apology to Anastasius. His excuses for not coming to Rome are absurd. His parents are dead and the journey is easy. No one ever heard before of his being imprisoned or exiled for the faith.p. 1327

        5. His confession of faith is unsatisfactory. No one asked him about the Trinity, but about Origen's doctrines of the Resurrection, the origin of souls, and the salvability of Satan. As to the Resurrection and to Satan he is ambiguous. As to souls he professes ignorance.p. 1329
        6. His confession of faith is unsatisfactory. No one asked him about the Trinity, but about Origen's doctrines of the Resurrection, the origin of souls, and the salvability of Satan. As to the Resurrection and to Satan he is ambiguous. As to souls he professes ignorance.p. 1330
        7. His confession of faith is unsatisfactory. No one asked him about the Trinity, but about Origen's doctrines of the Resurrection, the origin of souls, and the salvability of Satan. As to the Resurrection and to Satan he is ambiguous. As to souls he professes ignorance.p. 1331
        8. His confession of faith is unsatisfactory. No one asked him about the Trinity, but about Origen's doctrines of the Resurrection, the origin of souls, and the salvability of Satan. As to the Resurrection and to Satan he is ambiguous. As to souls he professes ignorance.p. 1332

        10. What Latin! The poor souls must be tormented by his barbarisms.p. 1335
        11. It is not permitted to you to be ignorant of such a matter which all the churches know.p. 1336
        12. As to translating the Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν, it is not a question, but a charge that you unjustifiably altered the book.p. 1338

        14. Origen asserts Christ to be a creature, and maintains universal restitution. Where has he contradicted this?p. 1342
        15. The question is, as Anastasius says to John of Jerusalem, with what motive you translated the Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν.p. 1343
        16. You pretend not to be Origen's defender, but you publish and enlarge the Apology for him and allege the heretics' falsification of his works.p. 1344
        17. Your defence gains no support from Eusebius or Didymus, who, each for his own reason, defend the Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν as it stands.p. 1346
        18. If we may allege falsification at every turn we make a chaos of all past literature.p. 1347
        19. The object of Origen's letter, of which he translates only a part, is not to shew the falsification of his writings but to vituperate the Bishops who condemned him.p. 1349
        20. It is only in reference to a particular point in his dispute with Candidus that Origen alleges this falsification. The story of Hilary's being condemned through his writings having been falsified has no foundation.p. 1351
        21. That which you tell about myself in Damasus' council is mere after-dinner gossip.p. 1353
        22. The attack on Epiphanius as a plagiarist of Origen is an outrage on the Bishops generally. Origen never wrote 6000 books.p. 1354

        25. The letter falsely circulated in Africa as mine, and expressing regret for my translation of the Old Test. from the Hebrew bears the mark of your hand. I have always honoured the Seventy Translators.p. 1358
        26. In proof of this, I bring forward the prefaces to my Translation of the Books from Genesis to Isaiah.p. 1360
        27. As to Daniel, it was necessary to point out that Bel and the Dragon, and similar stories were not found in the Hebrew.p. 1363
        28. A vindication of the importance of the Hebrew Text of Scripture.p. 1364
        29. Though the LXX has been of great value, we should be grateful for fresh translations from the original.p. 1365
      3. Book IIIp. 1366
        1. Preface.p. 1366
        2. Your letter is full of falsehood and violence. I will try not to take the same tone.p. 1368
        3. Why cannot we differ as friends? Why do you, by threats of death, compel me to answer?p. 1370
        4. Your shameful taunt that I wished to get copies of your Apology by bribing your Secretary is an imputation to me of practices which are your own.p. 1371
        5. Your shameful taunt that I wished to get copies of your Apology by bribing your Secretary is an imputation to me of practices which are your own.p. 1372
        6. Eusebius should not have accused you; but your charges against him will not stand.p. 1373
        7. You taunt me with boasting of my eloquence. Will you boast of your illiteracy?p. 1375
        8. You wish first to praise, then to amend me, but both with fisticuffs; and make it impossible for me to keep silence.p. 1377
        9. You wish first to praise, then to amend me, but both with fisticuffs; and make it impossible for me to keep silence.p. 1378
        10. Why cannot you join with me in condemning Origen, and so put an end to our quarrel?p. 1379
        11. The assertion that you had only two days for your answer is a fiction.p. 1380
        12. Your translation, contrariwise to my Commentaries, vouches for the soundness of Origen.p. 1381
        13. You try to shield Origen by falsely attributing the Apology for him to Pamphilus.p. 1382
        14. In my Commentaries my quotation of opposite opinions shows that neither is mine.p. 1384
        15. Had you translated honestly, you would not have had Origen's heresies imputed to you.p. 1385
        16. You say the Bishops of Italy accept your views on the Resurrection. I doubt it.p. 1387
        17. You rashly say that you will agree to whatever Theophilus lays down. You have to consider your friendship for Isidore now his enemy.p. 1388
        18. You speak of the Egyptian Bishop Paul. We received him, though an Origenist, as a stranger; and he has united himself to the orthodox faith. Not only Theophilus but the Emperors condemn Origen.p. 1389
        19. You speak of the Egyptian Bishop Paul. We received him, though an Origenist, as a stranger; and he has united himself to the orthodox faith. Not only Theophilus but the Emperors condemn Origen.p. 1391

        23. My departure from Rome for the East had nothing blameable in it as you insinuate.p. 1395
        24. Epiphanius, it is true, gave you the kiss of peace; but he showed afterwards that he had come to distrust you.p. 1396
        25. When we parted as friends I believed you a true believer; no one was sent to Rome to injure you.p. 1398
        26. You swear that you did not write my pretended retractation. Your style betrays you, and I have given a full answer about my translations already.p. 1399
        27. You bid me beware of falsification and treachery. You warn me against yourself.p. 1400
        28. There is nothing inconsistent in praising a man for some things and blaming him in others. You have done it in my case.p. 1401
        29. My ignorance of many natural phenomena is no excuse for your ignorance as to the origin of souls. You ought, according to your boasting dream to know everything. The thing of most importance was forgotten in your cargo of Eastern wares.p. 1402

        34. It was not I who first disclosed your heresies, but Epiphanius long ago and Aterbius before him.p. 1408
        35. As to our translations of the Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν, yours was doing harm, and mine was necessary in self-defence. You should be glad that heresy is exposed.p. 1409
        36. As to our translations of the Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν, yours was doing harm, and mine was necessary in self-defence. You should be glad that heresy is exposed.p. 1410
