Respectfully Kyle, Cyprian did not directly address the story of the woman caught in adultery in his extant writings. He frequently discussed themes such as repentance, mercy, and forgiveness, which are central to the narrative, though he did not specifically mention the passage or the woman.

In his works like On the Lapsed (De Lapsis), Cyprian discusses how the Church should treat Christians who lapsed and committed grave sins, and he emphasized the need for mercy for the truly penitent. These ideas align with the principles from Pericope Adulterae, however, Cyprian never explicitly commented on the story itself.
