Greek text · Dindorf 4:289–290

ταύταις ἄλλη τις ἐπιστολὴ συνῆπτο τοῦ Κορνηλίου περὶ τῶν κατὰ τὴν σύνοδον ἀρεσάντων, καὶ πάλιν ἑτέρα περὶ τῶν κατὰ Νοουάτον πραχθέντων, ἀφʼ ἧς καὶ μέρη παραθέσθαι οὐδὲν ἂν κωλύοι, ὅπως εἰδεῖεν τὰ κατʼ αὐτὸν οἱ τῇδε ἐντυγχάνοντες τῇ γραφῆ.

English · Claude translation

To these was joined another letter of Cornelius about the decisions of the synod, and again another about the doings of Novatus, from which nothing would prevent our quoting parts, so that those who read this work may know about him.
