Dr Westcott (Dict. Chr. Biogr. s.v. Origen, p.140 note) quotes the title page and remarks. "It is not easy to fix the date of (Wotton's) return from Italy. Probably it was after Sir H. Wotton retired from his post at Venice in 1610."
See also Fabr. Bibl. Gr. VII. 221.
Note that Hoeschel's edition of part of Origen's letter to Africanus was the first portion of the Greek text of Origen that was printed.
