Hi Folks,
This next page gives a short summary of the evidence of the action, from the Eusebius history, counterposed to the direct reference from Origen in his Commentary on Matthew.
http://books.google.com/books?id=KjmQt_mYxGUC&pg=PA6
The Westminster Handbook to Origen - John Anthony McGuckin (2004)
There is an article in German by Christoph Markschies of which some of the pages are on the Net (preview mode in Google).
So far I tend to agree with the conclusion of McGuckin:
"Origen's text ought always to be preferred as a historical source over and above Eusebius."
Despite the fact that many authors simply write about this as a fact.
Shalom,
Steven
