Origen answered this very fully

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

There is extant an epistle of his esatto Origen, expressing doubts of the story of Susannah durante Daniel, as being spurious and fictitious. Other works of the same Africanus which have reached us are his five books on Chronology, verso work accurately and laboriously prepared.

He dared sicuro assert that our Saviour and Raffinato did not pre-exist mediante per 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 sopra him.

But when he understood his views, and perceived that they were erroneous, having persuaded him by argument, and convinced him by demonstration, he brought him back to the true doctrine, and restored him sicuro his former sound opinion. 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 per his parish, as well as all the things done at that time.
