Greek text · Dindorf 4:313

Ἐν τούτῳ δὲ τῆς μὲν Ρωμαίων ἐκκλησίας εἰσέτι τότε καθηγεῖτο Ξυστὸς, τῆς δὲ ἐπʼ Ἀντιοχείας μετὰ Φάβιον Δημητριανὸς, Φιρμιλλιανὸς δὲ Καισαρείας τῆς Καππαδοκῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τούτοις τῶν κατὰ Πόντον ἐκκλησιῶν Γρηγόριος καὶ ὁ τούτου ἀδελφὸς Ἀθηνόδωρος, Ὠριγένους γνώριμοι. τῆς δʼ ἐπὶ Παλαιστίνης Καισαρείας Θεοκτίστου μεταλλάξαντος διαδέχεται τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν Δόμνος, βραχεῖ δὲ χρόνῳ τούτου διαγενομένου Θεότεκνος, ὁ καθʼ ἡμὰς, διάδοχος καθίσταται. τῆς δʼ Ὠριγένους διατριβῆς καὶ οὗτος ἦν. ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν Ἱεροσολύμοις ἀναπαυσαμένου Μαζαβάνου τὸν θρόνον Ὑμέναιος, ὁ καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπὶ πλείστοις τοῖς καθʼ ἡμὰς διαπρέψας ἔτεσι, διεδέξατο.

English · Claude translation

At this time Xystus was still leading the church of the Romans, and Demetrianus, after Fabius, that of Antioch; Firmilian that of Caesarea in Cappadocia; and besides these Gregory and his brother Athenodorus, pupils of Origen, the churches of Pontus. When Theoctistus of Caesarea in Palestine died, Domnus succeeded to the episcopate, and when he had lasted a short time, Theotecnus, of our own time, was appointed his successor; he too was of Origen's school. And at Jerusalem, when Mazabanes went to his rest, Hymenaeus succeeded to the throne, he who was distinguished for very many years in our own time.
