(31.33.1), Shameless is one of Epiphanius common descriptions of his opponents, but I think our discomfort with him as a theological controversialist lies not in the quality of his Greek nor his limited intellectual scope nor his version of episcopacy, but his own shamelessness, which foregrounds the ceaseless violence of his era into his text (Blossom Stefaniw, Shame and Normal in Epiphanius Polemic Against Origen 2013). 9. resurrection of the flesh because he was influenced by Origen; or

Influenced by the link that Irenaeus draws between the beliefs about Jesus held by Cerinthus and another Jewish Christian sect (Against Heresies 1.26.2), Epiphanius paints a picture of Cerinthus as a full-fledged Judaizer involved in every dispute about whether all Christ-followers must obey the Torah (including circumcision for males) in the New Testament (Panarion 28.2.3-5.3).
