Besides these, many other epistles of Dionysius are extant, as those
against Sabellius, addressed to Ammon, bishop of the church of
Bernice, and one to Telesphorus, and one to Euphranor, and again
another to Ammon and Euporus. He wrote also four other books on the
same subject, which he addressed to his namesake Dionysius, in
Rome. Besides these many of his epistles are with us, and large
books written in epistolary form, as those on Nature, addressed to
the young man Timothy, and one on Temptations, which he also
dedicated to Euphranor. Moreover, in a letter to Basilides, bishop
of the parishes in Pentapolis, he says that he had written an
exposition of the beginning of Ecclesiastes. And he has left us also
various letters addressed to this same person. Thus much Dionysius.
But our account of these matters being now completed, permit us to
show to posterity the character of our own age.
