Origen's Use of Ammonius in Commentary on Matthew [Part Twenty Three]

Origen, Commentary on Matthew	16.5 (extended catena on “sitting at the right/left”)	Origen explicitly frames the discussion as semantic inquiry within a fixed dominical saying (“τί βούλεται τὸ καθέζεσθαι ἐκ δεξιῶν ἢ ἐξ εὐωνύμων”), not as a textual problem. He announces a catena method (“συνακτέον τὰ περὶ καθίσεων ἀναγεγραμμένα”) presupposing a stable pericope anchor. OT throne texts are accumulated to explicate a single Matthean phrase, after which Origen returns to the Gospels and marks explicit synoptic equivalence using technical language (“τὸ δὲ ἰσοδυναμοῦν αὐτῷ καὶ ὁ Μᾶρκος ἀνέγραψεν… καὶ ὁ Λουκᾶς δὲ τὸ ὅμοιον φησιν”). No variant-reading markers (ἀντίγραφα, ἔν τισιν); Matthew functions as the unit anchor, Mark and Luke as parallel witnesses to the same delimited saying.	Very Strong (9/10) — textbook evidence of pericope-level fixation followed by controlled synoptic coordination, exactly the operational logic presupposed by Ammonian units.
