Greek text · Dindorf 4:331

Ἐπὶ ταύταις τοῦ Διονυσίου φέρονται καὶ ἄλλαι πλείους ἐπιστολαὶ, ὥσπερ αἱ κατὰ Σαβελλίου πρὸς Ἄμμωνα τῆς κατὰ Βερνίκην ἐκκλησίας ἐπίσκοπον, καὶ ἡ πρὸς Τελεσφόρον, καὶ ἡ πρὸς Εὐφράνορα, καὶ πάλιν Ἄμμωνα καὶ Εὔπορον. συντάττει δὲ περὶ τῆς αὐτῆς ὑποθέσεως καὶ ἄλλα τέσσαρα συγγράμματα, ἃ τῷ κατὰ Ῥώμην Διονυσίῳ προσφωνεῖ.

English · Claude translation

Besides these many other letters of Dionysius are extant, such as those against Sabellius to Ammon, bishop of the church at Berenice, and the one to Telesphorus, and the one to Euphranor, and again to Ammon and Euporus. He also composed four other treatises on the same subject, which he addresses to Dionysius of Rome.
