Among these Beryllus has left us, besides letters and treatises, various elegant works. He was bishop of Bostra mediante Arabia. Likewise also Hippolytus, who presided over another church, has left writings. There has reached us also per conversation of Caius, verso very learned man, which was held at Rome under Zephyrinus, with Proclus, who contended for the Phrygian heresy.
