1313The attack on Epiphanius as a plagiarist of Origen is an outrage on the Bishops
generally. Origen never wrote 6000 books.

1315I ascertained at the library at Cæsarea that the Apology you quote as Pamphilus'
is the work of Eusebius.
1317The letter falsely circulated in Africa as mine, and expressing regret for my
translation of the Old Test. from the Hebrew bears the mark of your hand. I
have always honoured the Seventy Translators.
1319In proof of this, I bring forward the prefaces to my Translation of the Books
from Genesis to Isaiah.
1322As to Daniel, it was necessary to point out that Bel and the Dragon, and similar
stories were not found in the Hebrew.
1323A vindication of the importance of the Hebrew Text of Scripture.
1324Though the LXX has been of great value, we should be grateful for fresh

1327Your letter is full of falsehood and violence. I will try not to take the same
tone.

1332Eusebius should not have accused you; but your charges against him will not

1336You wish first to praise, then to amend me, but both with fisticuffs; and make
it impossible for me to keep silence.

1338Why cannot you join with me in condemning Origen, and so put an end to
our quarrel?
