Adversus Marcionem
The apostle and author of the Apocalypse, cited as authority for figurative readings.
So too Babylon, even in our John, is a figure of the city of Rome — likewise great, and proud in empire, and a warrior against the saints of God.

De Praescriptionibus Hereticorum
The apostle John, author of the Apocalypse and an epistle, associated with the founding of the Smyrnaean church and a persecution narrative.
John, in the Apocalypse, is bidden to chastise those who eat things offered to idols and commit fornications.
where the apostle John, after he was plunged into burning oil and suffered nothing, was relegated to an island.
For in this way the apostolic Churches present their reckonings, as the Church of the Smyrnaeans relates that Polycarp was placed there by John, as the Church of the Romans that Clement was likewise ordained by Peter.
