Origen answered this very fully

Athenodorus, we know esatto have been especially celebrated. Finding them deeply interested mediante Greek and Roman learning, he infused into them a love of philosophy, and led them esatto exchange their old zeal for the study of divinity.

There is extant an epistle of his preciso Origen, expressing doubts of the story of Susannah sopra Daniel, as being spurious and fictitious.

He dared preciso assert that our Saviour and Lord did not pre-exist mediante verso distinct form of being of his own before his abode among men, and that he does not possess a divinity of his own, but only that of the Father dwelling mediante him.

There are still extant writings of Beryllus and of the synod held on his account, which contain the questions put sicuro him by Origen, and the discussions which were carried on in his parish, as well as all the things done at that time.
