Origen

Origen of Alexandria (c. 185–c. 253).

All of the known surviving records of Origen’s Contra Celsum are believed to be based upon the allegedly 13th century MS known as Codex Vaticanus Graecus 386 which is at Rome, Vatican. Bibliotheca Apostolica.^[2]

Commentary on Matthew, Book 10 Chapter 17, mentions Jesus as Christ.

Against Celsus, book 1, chapter 47, also mentions Christ.
