ps.-John II, Epist. ad Valerium

p. 56
It seems that the relevant passage in the decretal of ps.-Hyginus is based on one of two other pseudonymous writings: ps.-Athanasius’ Against Varimadus, or a letter claiming to have been addressed by Pope John II to bishop Valerius, but in fact cobbled together from materials taken from Against Varimadus.82

82 Ps.-Hyginus, De fide et reliquis causis, included in Isidori Mercatoris collectio decretalium, PL 130:109; Thiele, 1966, 365: “Et Dominus in Evangelio ait: Ego et Pater unum sumus; et iterum: Qui me videt, videt et Patrem […] Et Joannes evangelista ait: In principio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum; et iterum ipse ad Parthos: Tres sunt, inquit, qui testimonium perhibent in terra: aqua, sanguis et caro [Rome, BAV ms lat. 630; spiritus Paris, BnF mss 3852, 9629], tres in nobis sunt; et tres sunt qui testimonium perhibent in coelo: Pater, Verbum, et Spiritus, et hi tres unum sunt. Nos itaque in natura divinitatis, quia unum sunt, Pater, et Filius, et Spiritus sanctus, nec Patrem aliquo tempore credimus præcessisse, ut major sit Filio, nec Filium postea natum esse ut divinitate Patris minoretur.” The letter of ps.-John II to Valerius is in PL 66:27-28.

Is ps.-John II the same as Hyginus?

====================

Is it really "cobbled" from Contra Varimadum?

Contra Varimadum
And John the evangelist says: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1) Also to the Parthians: ”there are three", he says, ”that bear witness in earth, the water, the blood and the flesh (body): and these three are in us.”(1 John 5:8)”and there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Spirit: and these three are one.”(1 John 5:7)
