 The Origin of the Cult of St. Demetrius

He accepts (Saint Demetrios, 66-67) that the story of their use as preserved by the Passio Altera was probably in circulation by the early 7th-century when bishop John of Thessalonica composed his Miracula S. Demetrii, but he does not make it clear whether he accepts that the relics themselves had ever really existed.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Dionysius of Alexandria
Both saints were converts from paganism; both were engaged in the controversies as to the restoration of those who had lapsed in the Decian persecution, about Novatian, and with regard to the iteration of heretical baptism; both corresponded with the popes of their day.
At a later period, when he was warned by a priest of the danger he ran in studying the books of heretics, a vision–so he informs us–assured him that he was capable of proving all things, and that this faculty had in fact been the cause of his conversion.
The latter was banished by Demetrius about 231, and Heraclas took his place at the head of the catechetical school.
