No heretical texts exist from that time?

Theodosius purged texts that were not consistent with the bible. Any anti Christian writing was destroyed to the extent that even the library at Alexandra (the great in the world at that time) was burned down.

Well the library was a pile of ash, that's pretty conclusive. And Hypatia, (mathematician, astronomer, philosopher, and head librarian)
was lynched by a Christian mob... Or so the story goes.

If I were to ever have a daughter I would want to call her Hypatia

Maybe people would call her Pat or Patty for short

And all the other works outside the library?

It's a very long story, perhaps a little research on Theodosius purges.

In essence he spread the word throughout the roman empire that any texts that did not align with Christianity (or Judaism) be burned and any non christian who objected be executed.

I think it's a beautiful name, and Hypatia at the Alexandrian library was a wonderful woman.
My eldest daughter's middle name is Hypatia

So did they spread the word beyond the Roman Empire as well?
