The Church History of Eusebius
Chapter XXVII.--How the Bishops regarded Origen.
He was so earnestly affected toward Origen, that he urged him to come to that country for the benefit of the churches, and moreover he visited him in Judea, remaining with him for some time, for the sake of improvement in divine things. And Alexander, 1 bishop of Jerusalem, and Theoctistus, 2 bishop of Caesarea, attended on him constantly, 3 as their only teacher, and allowed 4 him to expound the Divine Scriptures, and to perform the other duties pertaining to ecclesiastical discourse. 5

The presbyter derived his authority to preach and teach only from the bishop, and hence these bishops extended to Origen, whom they had ordained a presbyter, full liberty to preach and teach within their dioceses. ↩
