Translation: [Gregory,] also [called] Theodore, the Wonderworker, bishop of Neocaesarea in Pontus. As a quite young man, for the sake of education in Greek and Roman literature he went from Cappadocia to Berytos [Beirut] and from there to
Caesarea in Palestine along with his brother
Athenodorus.[1] They became personal followers of
Origen,[2] who was partly responsible for introducing them to the Christian faith. After studying with him for five years they were sent back to their homeland; for which reason while Gregory was away from home he wrote a panegyric of thanksgiving to
Origen, and summoning all his countrymen, in the presence of
Origen himself, he recited this speech, which is extant up to the present time. He also wrote a
Paraphrase of Ecclesiastes, a very short but very marvelous work.[3] And he composed many other letters and discourses of various kinds, as well as performing signs and miracles beyond human power, when he became bishop. He died in the reign of Aurelian.
Gregory and
Athenodorus [were] relatives, but one was a miracle-worker, the other a sophist.[4]
He also wrote a discourse on incarnation and faith.
