NUMEROUS memorials of the faithful zeal of the ancient
ecclesiastical men of that time are still preserved by many. Of these
we would note particularly the writings of Heraclitus On the
Apostle, and those of Maximus on the question so much discussed among
heretics, the Origin of Evil, and on the Creation of Matter.
Also those of Candidus on the Hexaemeron, and of Apion on the same
subject; likewise of Sextus on the Resurrection, and another
treatise of Arabianus, and writings of a multitude of others, in
regard to whom, because we have no data, it is impossible to state in
our work when they lived, or to give any account of their history.
And works of many others have come down to us whose names we are unable
to give, orthodox and ecclesiastical, as their interpretations of the
Divine Scriptures show, but unknown to us, because their names are
not stated in their writings.
