	Origen of Alexandria
		Thus Matthew's gospel may have found its way to India if Matthew himself had been in Persia.< 7> We recall that Jesus was present in various parts of Persia and India prior to his three- year Palestinian ministry and also after the resurrection.
		Thus an "esoteric" form of Christianity may have flourished there, and Pantaenus may have come in contact with it.
		Pantaenus taught a "philosophical" interpretation of Christianity but related it to traditional biblical teaching.< 8> Thus, the foundation of the Catechetical School was biblically oriented and did not share in the so- called oriental doctrines of the Christian- Gnostics.

		Now, if Pantaenus was pupil of those who had seen the Apostles, and yet had, not listened to their oral teaching, it is natural to infer that he was pupil through their writings.
		But, though the known fragments of Pantaenus are few, we possess abundant writings of two pupils, Clement of Alexandria and Origen, from which we may gather the teaching of their master.
		Origen confessed that Pantaenus was his superior in the philosophy of the schools, and that he moulded his teaching upon the model of Pantaenus.
