The Philosophemena

aka The Refutation of All Heresies
(Greek: Φιλοσοφούμενα ή κατὰ πασῶν αἱρέσεων ἔλεγχος;* Latin: Refutatio Omnium Haeresium)
whose attribution to Hippolytus of Rome or an unknown "Pseudo-Hippolytus" is disputed (Litwa calls the author 'the Refutator')

The first book, a synopsis of Greek philosophy, circulated separately in several manuscripts and was known as the Φιλοσοφούμενα - Philosophoumena - "philosophical teachings" - a title which some extend to the whole work

Books IV-X were recovered in 1842 in a manuscript at Mount Athos, while books II and III remain lost

For 'Φιλοσοφούμενα ή κατὰ πασῶν αἱρέσεων ἔλεγχος,' Deepl gives 'Philosophy or control of all heresies'
