Greek text · Dindorf 4:340

κατὰ τούσδε τῆς Ἀντιοχέων ἐπισκοπῆς μετὰ Δόμνον ἡγήσατο Τίμαιος, ὃν ὁ καθʼ ἡμὰς διεδέξατο Κύριλλος, ὃν Δωρόθεον πρεσβείου τοῦ κατὰ Ἀντιόχειαν ἠξιωμένον τῶν τηνικάδε λόγιον ἄνδρα ἔγνωμεν. φιλόκαλος δʼ οὗτος περὶ τὰ θεῖα γεγονὼς καὶ τῆς Ἑβραίων ἐπεμελήθη γλώττης, ὡς καὶ αὐταῖς ταῖς Ἑβραϊκαῖς γραφαῖς ἐπιστημόνως ἐντυγχάνειν.

English · Claude translation

At this time Timaeus led the episcopate of Antioch after Domnus, and Cyril, of our own time, succeeded him. In his time we came to know Dorotheus, a learned man of that period, deemed worthy of the presbyterate at Antioch. He was a lover of beauty in divine things and applied himself to the Hebrew language, so that he read the Hebrew Scriptures themselves with understanding.
