A Possible Reference to the Acts of John in Hippolytus's Apostolic Traditions?
Yet if there is any other thing that ought to be told [to converts], let the bishop impart it to them privately after their baptism; let not unbelievers know it, until they are baptized: this is the white stone of which John said: "There is upon it a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth the stone" [p 49]

Can you site the reference with links to both texts?
