2 Timothy 2:17 Douay-Rheims

And their speech spreadeth like a canker: of whom are Hymeneus and Philetus:

Alexander of Alexandria

c. A.D. 250–326 Patristic

But these by all their words have attempted to do away with the Godhead of Christ, have made those seem righteous, since they have come nearer to Antichrist. Wherefore they have been excommunicated and anathematized by the Church. And indeed, although we grieve at the destruction of these men, especially that after having once learned the doctrine of the Church, they have now gone back; yet we do not wonder at it; for this very thing Hymenaeus and Philetus suffered, and before them Judas, who, though he followed the Saviour, afterwards became a traitor and an apostate.
