Origen of Alexandria
Origen Adamantius of Alexandria was an overseer in Alexandria, Egypt and Caesarea, Palestine (Caesarea Maritima). He wrote between AD 230-250.
His teachers included Clement of Alexandria and Hippolytus of Rome. His students included Firmilian, Gregory Thaumaturgus, and Dionysius of Alexandria.
He was the head of the catechetical school in Alexandria but later expelled because Demetrius of Alexandria was jealous of his brilliance and fame.
He compiled the Hexapla: (1) the Hebrew, (2) the transliteration of Hebrew into Koine Greek, (3) the translation by Aquila of Sinope, (4) the translations by Symmachus the Ebionite, (5) the Septuagint, and (6) the translation by Theodotion.
Of his works that have survived, they include:
On Principles

Against Celsus
Commentary on the Gospel of John
Commentary on the Gospel of Matthew
Commentary on the Letter to the Romans

Quotations from ancient writings might be paraphrased because many of them were translated in the 1800s. I have done my best to keep this to a bare minimum.
