Jerome. Lives of Illustrious Men 60
60 Berillus the bishop PL 23, 669
Beryllus, bishop of Bostra in Arabia, after he had ruled the church gloriously for a little while, finally lapsed into the heresy which denies that Christ existed before the incarnation. Set right by Origen, he wrote various short works, especially letters, in which he thanks Origen. The letters of Origen to him, are also extant, and a dialogue between Origen and Beryllus as well, in which heresies are discussed. He was distinguished during the reign of Alexander, son of Mammaea, and Maximinus and Gordianus, who succeeded him in power.
Beryllus, Arabiae Bostrenus episcopus, cum aliquanto tempore gloriose rexisset Ecclesiam, ad extremum lapsus in haeresim, quae Christum ante incarnationem negat, ab Origene correctus. Scripsit varia opuscula, et maxime epistolas, in quibus Origeni gratias agit, sed et Origenis ad eum litterae sunt. Exstat dialogus Origenis et Berylli, in quo haereseos coarguitur. Claruit autem sub Alexandro, Mammeae filio, et Maximino et Gordiano, qui ei in imperium successerunt.
Βήρυλλος, Ἀραβίας τῆς Βοστρήνων ἐπίσκοπος, ἐπί τινα χρόνον ἐνδόξως κυβερνήσας τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν, τελευταῖον εἰς τὴν ἀρνουμένην τὸν Χριστὸν πρὸ τῆς ἐνανθρωπήσεως, ὀλισθήσας, παρὰ Ὠριγένους ἐπιστραφεὶς, συνέγραψε ποικίλα πράγματα, καὶ μάλιστα ἐπιστολὰς ἐν αἷς τῷ Ὠριγένει εὐχαριστεῖ· ἀλλὰ καὶ Ὠριγένους πρὸς αὐτόν εἰσιν Ἐπιστολαί. Ἔστι διάλογος Ὠριγένους καὶ Βηρύλλου, ἐν ᾧ αἱρέσεως εὐθύνεται. Διέπρεψε δὲ ἐπὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου τοῦ Μαμέας υἱοῦ καὶ Μαξιμίνου καὶ Γορδιανοῦ τῶν διαδεξαμένων τὴν ἐκείνου βασιλείαν.
