Church History

1. It may be well to add that in the sixth book of his exposition of the Gospel of John [1963] he states that he prepared the first five while in Alexandria. Of his work on the entire Gospel only twenty-two volumes have come down to us.

2. In the ninth of those on Genesis, [1964] of which there are twelve in all, he states that not only the preceding eight had been composed at Alexandria, but also those on the first twenty-five Psalms [1965] and on Lamentations. [1966] Of these last five volumes have reached us.

3. In them he mentions also his books On the Resurrection, [1967] of which there are two. He wrote also the books De Principiis [1968] before leaving Alexandria; and the discourses entitled Stromata, [1969] ten in number, he composed in the same city during the reign of Alexander, as the notes by his own hand preceding the volumes indicate.
