Greek text · Dindorf 4:296

καὶ πρὸς Κόνωνα ( τῆς Ερμουπολιτῶν δὲ παροικίας ἐπίσκοπος ἦν οὗτος) ἰδία τις περὶ μετανοίας αὐτοῦ φέρεται γραφὴ, καὶ ἄλλη ἐπιστρεπτικὴ πρὸς τὸ κατʼ Ἀλεξάνδρειαν ποίμνιον αὐτοῦ. ἐν τούτοις ἐστὶ καὶ ἡ περὶ μαρτυρίου πρὸς τὸν Ὠριγένην γραφεῖσα, καὶ τοῖς κατὰ Λαοδίκειαν ἀδελφοῖς, ὧν προΐστατο Θηλυμίδρης ἐπίσκοπος. καὶ τοῖς κατὰ Ἀρμενίαν ὡσαύτως περὶ μετανοίας ἐπιστέλλει, ὧν ἐπεσκόπευε Μερουζάνης.

English · Claude translation

There is also extant a personal writing of his on repentance to Conon (he was bishop of the community of Hermopolis), and another admonitory one to his flock at Alexandria. Among these is also the one on martyrdom written to Origen, and one to the brothers at Laodicea, over whom Thelymidres presided as bishop. He also writes likewise on repentance to those in Armenia, whose bishop was Meruzanes.
