Origen answered this very fully

Athenodorus, we know to have been especially celebrated. Finding them deeply interested sopra Greek and Roman learning, he infused into them verso love of philosophy, and led them preciso exchange their old zeal for the study of divinity. Remaining with him five years, they made such progress durante divine things, that although they were still young, both of them were honored with per bishopric sopra the churches of Pontus.

There is extant an epistle of his preciso Origen, expressing doubts of the story of Susannah mediante Daniel, as being spurious and fictitious. Other works of the same Africanus which have reached us are his five paf casino books on Chronology, per rete informatica accurately and laboriously prepared.

He dared preciso assert that our Saviour and Raffinato did not pre-exist durante verso distinct form of being of his own before his abode among men, and that he does not possess verso divinity of his own, but only that of the Father dwelling per him.

There are still extant writings of Beryllus and of the synod held on his account, which contain the questions put to him by Origen, and the discussions which were carried on con his parish, as well as all the things done at that time.
