Ἱππολύτου ἐπισκόπου Ῥώμης καὶ μάρτυρος. Διὰ τοῦτο „πυλωροὶ ᾅδου ἰδόντες σε ἔπτηξαν“, καὶ συνετρίβησαν πύλαι χαλκαῖ, καὶ μοχλοὶ σιδηροῖ συνεκλάσθησαν· καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ μονογενὴς εἰσῆλθεν ὡς ψυχὴ μετὰ ψυχῶν, θεὸς λόγος ἔμψυχος· τὸ γὰρ σῶμα ἔκειτο ἐν μνημείῳ, οὐχὶ κενωθὲν τῆς θεότητος· ἀλλ' ὥσπερ ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ ὤν, τῇ οὐσίᾳ ἦν πρὸς τὸν πατέρα, οὕτως ἦν καὶ ἐν τῷ σώματι καὶ ἐν τῷ ᾅδῃ· ἀχώρητος γάρ ἐστι καὶ ὁ υἱὸς ὡς ὁ πατήρ, καὶ πάντα περιέχει· ἀλλὰ θέλων ἐχωρήθη ἐν σώματι ἐμψύχῳ, ἵνα μετὰ τῆς ἰδίας ψυχῆς πορευθῇ εἰς τὸν ᾅδην, καὶ μὴ γυμνῇ τῇ θεότητι.
