1290His 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.

1294What Latin! The poor souls must be tormented by his barbarisms.
1295It is not permitted to you to be ignorant of such a matter which all the churches
know.
1297As to translating the Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν, it is not a question, but a charge that you
unjustifiably altered the book.
1300Origen asserts Christ to be a creature, and maintains universal restitution.
Where has he contradicted this?
1301Origen asserts Christ to be a creature, and maintains universal restitution.
Where has he contradicted this?
1302The question is, as Anastasius says to John of Jerusalem, with what motive
you translated the Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν.
1303You pretend not to be Origen's defender, but you publish and enlarge the
Apology for him and allege the heretics' falsification of his works.
1305Your defence gains no support from Eusebius or Didymus, who, each for his
own reason, defend the Περὶ ᾽Αρχῶν as it stands.
1306If we may allege falsification at every turn we make a chaos of all past literature.
1308The 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.
1310It 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.
1312That which you tell about myself in Damasus' council is mere after-dinner
gossip.
