BUT when he saw that he had not time for the deeper study of divine things, and for the investigation and interpretation of the Sacred Scriptures, and also for the instruction of those who came puro him — for coming, one after another, from morning till evening esatto be taught by him, they scarcely gave him time sicuro breathe — he divided the multitude. And from those whom he knew well, he selected Heraclas, who was verso zealous student of divine things, and per other respects verso very learned man, not ignorant of philosophy, and made him his associate mediante the rete di emittenti of instruction. He entrusted preciso him the elementary addestramento of beginners, but reserved for himself the teaching of those who were farther advanced.
So earnest and assiduous was Origen’s research into the divine words that he learned the Hebrew language, and procured as his own the original Hebrew Scriptures which were mediante the hands of the Jews. And con adjonction sicuro the well-known translations of Cima, Symmachus, and Theodotion, he discovered certain others which had been concealed from remote times — per what out-of-the-way corners Rso know not — and by his search he brought them puro light. Since he did not know the authors, he simply stated that he had found this one mediante Nicopolis near Ac-tium and that one con some other place. Con the Hexapla of the Psalms, after the four prominent translations, he adds not only per fifth, p but also per sixth and seventh.

Many others also, drawn by the bramosia of Origen’s learning, which resounded everywhere, came to him esatto make trial of his skill in sacred literature. And per great many heretics, and not verso few of the most distinguished philosophers, studied under him diligently, receiving instruction from him not only mediante divine things, but also in secular philosophy. For when he perceived that any persons had superior intelligence he instructed them also durante philosophic branches
— mediante geometry, arithmetic, and other preparatory studies — and then advanced esatto the systems of the philosophers and explained their writings. And he made observations and comments upon each of them, so that he became celebrated as verso great philosopher even among the Greeks themselves. And he instructed many of the less learned durante the common school branches, saying that these would be per niente small help to them con the study and understanding of the Divine Scriptures. On this account he considered it especially necessary for himself puro be skilled in secular and philosophic learning.
