Chapter 14
The Bishops that flourished at that Time
At that time Xystus[1] was still presiding over the church of Rome, and Demetrianus,[2] successor of Fabius,[3] over the church of Antioch, and Firmilianus[4] over that of Cæsarea in Cappadocia; and besides these, Gregory[5] and his brother Athenodorus,[6] friends of Origen, were presiding over the churches in Pontus; and Theoctistus[7] of Cæsarea in Palestine having died, Domnus[8] received the episcopate there. He held it but a short time, and Theotecnus,[9] our contemporary, succeeded him. He also was a member of Origen’s school. But in Jerusalem, after the death of Mazabanes,[10] Hymenæus,[11] who has been celebrated among us for a great many years, succeeded to his seat.
