_Anastasius_, notwithstanding the Solicitations of _Marcella_, declined either proceeding against _Ruffinus_, or censuring his Translation, till Two Years after, when _Jerom_, in a new Version which he published of the same Work, undertook to prove, that several Opinions of _Origen_ were truly heretical, and as such ought to be condemned by the Church. As to _Ruffinus_, he inveighed bitterly against him, as if he had translated that Work with no other View but to propagate the Errors it contained. Thus began the famous Quarrel between these Two Writers, which occasioned no small Disturbance in the Church, some siding with _Jerom_ against _Ruffinus_, and others with _Ruffinus_ against _Jerom_. Among the former, the most sanguine were _Theophilus_ Bishop of _Alexandria_, _Epiphanius_ Bishop of _Constantia_ in the Island of _Cyprus_, and _Anastasius_ Bishop of _Rome_. _Theophilus_ not only condemned in a Council, which he summoned for that Purpose, the Errors of _Origen_, but _Origen_ himself, declaring him an Heretic, and forbidding all under his Jurisdiction to read, or even keep his Works by them; which is the first Instance we have of such Prohibitions. [Sidenote: Origen _condemned by_ Anastasius _and several other Bishops_.] His Example was followed by _Epiphanius_, _Anastasius_, _Venerius_ Bishop of _Milan_, _Chromatius_ Bishop of _Aquileia_, and several others. But some, and among the rest _John_ Bishop of _Jerusalem_, and _Chrysostom_ then Bishop of _Constantinople_, disapproving the rash Conduct of their Collegues, could by no means be induced to confirm the Sentence they had pronounced; which _Epiphanius_ resented to such a Degree, that he immediately separated himself from their Communion. _Sozomen_ adds, that he even refused to pray for young _Theodosius_, while he was dangerously ill, because his Mother _Eudoxia_ would not banish from _Constantinople_ some Monks who had warmly espoused the Cause of _Origen_[1359]. _Ruffinus_ ranks _Epiphanius_ among those Plagiaries, who, borrowing from _Origen_ all they said or writ, cried down his Works, in order to deter others from reading them, and consequently from discovering, that what was admired in them was not their own[1360]. [Sidenote: Ruffinus _is summoned to_ Rome.]
