Summary: Dionysius also wrote a letter of spiritual counsel to Chrysophora, a faithful Christian woman.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:174–175

καὶ ἄλλη δέ τις παρὰ ταύτας ἐπιστολὴ τοῦ Διονυσίου φέρεται, Χρυσοφόρᾳ πιστοτάτῃ ἀδελφῇ ἐπιστείλαντος, ᾗ τὰ κατάλληλα γράφων τῆς προσηκούσης καὶ αὐτῇ μετεδίδου λογικῆς τροφῆς. καὶ τὰ μὲν τοῦ Διονυσίου τοσαῦτα.

English · Claude translation

Besides these another letter of Dionysius is extant, written to Chrysophora, a most faithful sister, to whom he wrote what was suitable and imparted to her too the rational food that was fitting. So much for Dionysius.
