Note 80 — BOOK IX NOETUS, CALLISTUS, AND OTHERS
Francis Legge translation
This practice of second baptism, which Hippolytus does not accuse Callistus of teaching, but of which he says that it was begun in his time, is apparently brought in here to connect this chapter with the next on the Elchesaites. Had such accusation any foundation, it would certainly have been known to Cyprian or Firmilian.
