Origin had seven secretaries that took dictation and seven copiers that copied his works for distribution. He was condemned 300 years after his death, and the Romans could not find and destroy all the copies of his work. In addition, the man who translated Origen's work into Latin left us with hints that Latin translations were not reliable. Having said that, there are very few copies of his work that came from his hand available to us today. The best proof of his teachings come from those who condemned him, like the words of Justinian: www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf214.xii.x.html
