The Origen's Letter to Alexander of Jerusalem
The fragment of the Origen's Letter to Alexander of Jerusalem, as described by the EUsebius’ Ecclesiastic History (VI 19, 12-4) "narrates that he frequented for a while a philosophical school, meeting there Heraclas, who subsequently would become his assistant at the didaskaleion and later on, as bishop of Alexandria, his staunch enemy." He also names Pantaenus as the model for his own behaviour, without any form of concern to his nearer predecessor, Clement of Alexandria.

I think that Letter must be cited since it ignored the man who was probably one of the main moral models of Alexander of Jerusalem,Clement of Alexandria. While Alban Butler says that Origen and Alexander had studied together in the great Christian school of Alexandria, one of the fewest and very rare autobiographical texts we have about Origen mentions uniquely a not well known Heraclas as his companion of studies and Pantaenus "as the model for his own behaviour". For thise reasons, I think the paper commenting the letter has to be integrated into the article.

The related source is given by academia.edu, L. Perrone Origen’s “Confessions”: Recovering the Traces of a Self-Portrait, STUDIA PATRISTICA VOL. LVI,Volume 4: Rediscovering Origen, Peeters Publishers, 2011, p. 8.
