PAM••ILUS, a native of Phoenicia, of a considerable family, was a man of such extensive learning that he was called a second Origen. He was received into the body of the clergy at Caesarea, where he established a public library, and spent his time in the practice of every christian virtue. He copied the greatest part of the works of Origen, with his own hand, and, assisted by Eusebius, gave a correct copy of the Old Testament, which had suffered greatly by the ignorance or negligence of former transcribers. He likewise gave public lectures on religious and literary subjects, in an academy which he had erected for that purpose, till the year 307, when he was apprehended, and carried before Urban, the governor of Palestine.

URBAN, thinking that a man of his abilities must be of great importance to any party, did all he could to induce him to embrace paganism. Finding his endeavours vain, he changed persuasions into menaces, and from entreating began to threaten.
