Greek text · Dindorf 4:300

καὶ μεθʼ ἕτερά φησι “καὶ ‟ἀγαπητοῖς δὲ ἡμῶν καὶ συμπρεσβυτέροις Διονυσίῳ ‟καὶ Φιλήμονι, συμψήφοις πρότερον Στεφάνῳ γενο- ‟μένοις, καὶ περὶ τῶν αὐτῶν μοι γράφουσι, πρότερον ‟μὲν ὀλίγα, καὶ νῦν δὲ διὰ πλειόνων ἐπέστειλα.” ἀλλὰ ταῦτα μὲν περὶ τοῦ δηλουμένου ζητήματος.

English · Claude translation

And after other things he says: “And to our beloved fellow presbyters Dionysius and Philemon, who formerly agreed with Stephen and wrote to me about the same things, I wrote before briefly, and now at greater length.” So much on the question in hand.
