BERYLLUS THE BISHOP eryllus, bishop of Bostra in Arabia,1 after having ruled the church with distinction for some time, finally lapsed into a heresy which asserted that Christ did not exist before the Incarnation.2 He was straightened out by Origen3 and wrote various treatises, especially a letter, in which he thanked Origen;4 2. there is also a letter of Origen addressed to him.5 A dialogue of Origen and Beryllus survives6 in which the latter is accused of heresy. 3. He was famous in the reigns both of Alexander, son of Mammaea,7 and of his successors as emperors, Maximinus and Gordianus.8 notes 1.
