Greek text · Dindorf 4:275

Καὶ Ὠριγένει δὲ κατὰ τοῦτον τὸν χρόνον τὰ εἰς τὸν Ἠσαίαν, ἐν ταὐτῶ δὲ καὶ τὰ εἰς τὸν Ἰεζεκιὴλ συνετάττετο· ὧν εἰς μὲν τὸ τρίτον μέρος τοῦ Ἡσαΐου, μέχρι τῆς ὁράσεως τῶν τετραπόδων τῶν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, τριάκοντα εἰς ἡμὰς περιῆλθον τόμοι, εἰς δὲ τὸν Ἰεζεκιὴλ πέντε καὶ εἴκοσιν, οὓς καὶ μόνους εἰς τὸν πάντα πεποίηται προφήτην.

English · Claude translation

At this time Origen composed his commentaries on Isaiah, and at the same time those on Ezekiel. Of those on the third part of Isaiah, as far as the vision of the four-footed beasts in the desert, thirty volumes have come down to us; and on Ezekiel twenty-five, the only ones he wrote on the whole prophet.
