Greek text · Dindorf 4:267

Τότε δῆτα καὶ Ἱππόλυτος συντάττων μετὰ πλείστων ἄλλων ὑπομνημάτων καὶ τὸ περὶ τοῦ πάσχα πεποίηται σύγγραμμα, ἐν ᾧ τῶν χρόνων ἀναγραφὴν ἐκθέμενος, καί τινα κανόνα ἑκκαιδεκαετηρίδος περὶ τοῦ πάσχα προθεὶς, ἐπὶ τὸ πρῶτον ἔτος Ἀλεξάνδρου αὐτοκράτορος τοὺς χρόνους περιγράφει. τῶν δὲ λοιπῶν αὐτοῦ συγγραμμάτων τὰ εἰς ἡμᾶς ἐλθόντα ἐστὶ τάδε· εἰς τὴν ἑξαήμερον, εἰς τὰ μετὰ τὴν ἑξαήμερον, πρὸς Μαρκίωνα, εἰς τὸ ᾆσμα, εἰς μέρη τοῦ Ἰεζεκιὴλ, περὶ τοῦ πάσχα, πρὸς ἁπάσας τὰς αἱρέσεις· πλεῖστά τε ἄλλα καὶ παρὰ πολλοῖς εὕροις ἂν σωζόμενα.

English · Claude translation

At that time Hippolytus too, among very many other works, composed the treatise On the Pascha, in which he set out a record of the dates and put forward a sixteen-year cycle for the Pascha, bringing the dates down to the first year of the emperor Alexander. Of his other writings those that have reached us are these: On the Hexaemeron, On What Follows the Hexaemeron, Against Marcion, On the Song, On Parts of Ezekiel, On the Pascha, Against All the Heresies; and you may find very many others preserved by many.
