Person

Gregory the Wonderworker

about 213–270

Pupil of Origen, bishop of Neocaesarea

Attested. The oration is genuine. The miracle stories are later.

Gregory, also called Theodore, studied with Origen in Caesarea and left a Thanksgiving oration that is a prime source for Origen's curriculum. Later lives credit him with mass conversions and miracles in Pontus. Those lives are hagiography, not a census.
