Theodore of Mopsuestia, Twenty-Five Books Against Eunomius
The work of Theodore of Antioch, on behalf of Basil against Eunomius, in twenty-five books, has been read by me. In expression he is not altogether brilliant, but in thought and argument very close-packed, and accredited throughout by the testimonies of Scripture. He conducts the refutation of Eunomius's works almost word for word, and proves at length that Eunomius is utterly unlearned in secular learning, and far more so in our theology. This is the Theodore who became bishop of Mopsuestia, I believe.
Greek
Ἀνεγνώσθη ΘΕΟΔΩΡΟΥ ΑΝΤΙΟΧΕΩΣ ὑπὲρ Βασιλείας κατὰ Εὐνομίου ἐν λόγοις κέ. ἔστι δὲ τὴν μὲν φράσιν οὐ πάνυ λαμπρός, ταῖς δὲ διανοίαις καὶ τοῖς ἐπιχειρήμασι λίαν πυκνός, καὶ ταῖς γραφικαῖς ἅμα πιστωθὲν μαρτυρίαις. κατὰ λέξιν δὲ σχεδὸν τῶν Εὐνομίου λόγων τὴν ἀνασκευὴν ποιεῖται, ἀμαθῆ τε λίαν τῶν τε θύραθεν μαθημάτων καὶ πολλῷ μᾶλλον τῆς καθ' ἡμᾶς θεοσοφίας διὰ πολλῶν ἐπιδείκνυς. ὁ δὲ Μοψουεστίας γεγονὼς ἐπίσκοπος οὗτός ἐστιν, οἶμαι.
