didymus
rufinus was didymus's pupil for eight years. when he translated origen's "de principiis" into latin, he referenced didymus's commentary on it. jerome mentions didymus's contributions to his ideas in the prefaces of many of his books, and called didymus "didymus the seeing." rufinus remained loyal to didymus after jerome condemned didymus and origen. didymus was viewed as an orthodox christian teacher and was greatly respected and admired up until at least 553. socrates of constantinople compared didymus's faithfulness to the nicene creed to basil of caesarea and gregory of nazianzus. in his position as a teacher, he held discussions and learned from jews, pagans, manichees, and other christian teachers. records of didymus's lectures and the questions students asked show that he taught the same educated pupils multiple times.
