Abstract

The paper is to compare two parallel passages: Origen Contra Celsum VIII 30 and Porphyry De abstinentia II 42-43, which both concern meat-eating demo­nized as “demons’ feast”, and to inquire into a cause of this parallelism. The cause was a closest personal relationship between Origen and Porphyry in the years A.D. 244-249, as well as their indebtedness in a common source, hypothetically, Origen the Egyptian who published his treatise De daemonibus before A.D. 253.
