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.

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
