IT may be well to add that in the sixth book of his exposition of the
Gospel of John he states that he prepared the first five while in
Alexandria. Of his work on the entire Gospel only twenty-two
volumes have come down to us. In the ninth of those on Genesis, of
which there are twelve in all, he states that not only the preceding
eight had been composed at Alexandria, but also those on the first
twenty-five Psalms and on Lamentations. Of these last five volumes
have reached us. In them he mentions also his books On the
Resurrection, of which there are two. He wrote also the books De
Principiis before leaving Alexandria; and the discourses entitled
Stromata, ten in number, he composed in the same city during the
reign of Alexander, as the notes by his own hand preceding the volumes
indicate.
