25 Theophilus the bishop PL 23, 643

Theophilus, sixth bishop of the church of Antioch, in the reign of the emperor Marcus Antoninus Verus composed a book Against Marcion, which is still extant, also three volumes To Autolycus and one Against the heresy of Hermogenes and other short and elegant treatises, well fitted for the edification of the church. I have read, under his name, commentaries On the Gospel and On the proverbs of Solomon which do not appear to me to correspond in style and language with the elegance and expressiveness of the above works.

Theophilus sextus Antiochensis Ecclesiae episcopus, sub imperatore M. Antonino Vero librum contra Marcionem composuit, qui usque hodie exstat. Feruntur ejus et ad Autolycum tria volumina, et contra haeresim Hermogenis liber unus: et alii breves elegantesque tractatus ad aedificationem Ecclesiae pertinentes. Legi sub nomine ejus in Evangelium et in Proverbia Salomonis Commentarios, qui mihi cum superiorum voluminum elegantia et phrasi non videntur congruere.

Θεόφιλος ἕκτος τῆς ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ Ἐκκλησίας ἐπίσκοπος, βασιλεύοντος Μάρκου Ἀντωνίνου Βήρου βίβλον κατὰ Μαρκίωνος συνέταξεν, ἥτις ἄχρι τήμερον τυγχάνει. Τούτου φέρεται καὶ πρὸς Αὐτόλυκον τρία τεύχη, καὶ κατὰ τῆς αἱρέσεως Ἑρμογένους λόγος εἷς, καὶ ἄλλαι βραχεῖαι βίβλοι, εἰς οἰκοδομὴν τῆς ἐκκλησίας ἀνήκουσαι. Ἀνέγνων ἐπ' ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ εἰς Εὐαγγέλιον καὶ εἰς Παροιμίας Σαλομῶνος ὑπομνήματα, ἅτινά μοι οὐ δοκοῦσι συμφωνεῖν τῇ εὐφυΐᾳ, καὶ τῇ φράσει τῶν προειρημένων συγγραμμάτων.
