Galatians 1:8 Douay-Rheims

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.

Tertullian

c. A.D. 150–220 Patristic

To this angel, indeed, of Philumene, the apostle will reply in tones like those in which he even then predicted him, saying, "Although an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." To the arguments, however, which have been indicated just above, we have now to show our resistance.

In like manner, in the passage, "If even an angel of heaven preach unto you any other gospel than that which we have preached unto you, let him be anathema," he calls attention to the artful influence of Philumene, the virgin friend of Apelles.
