Migne prints it after the twelve books, at Patrologia Latina 67, 853 ('Liber contra Mocianum 853'), followed by the 'Epistola fidei catholicae' at 861 (https://archive.org/details/patrologiaecursu0067mign). Library searches under the author return the Sources chretiennes and Italian translations of the Defensio, the Latin of Corpus Christianorum Series Latina 90, and English works about the controversy, but nothing translating this book (https://hollis.harvard.edu/discovery/search?query=any,contains,Facundus%20Hermiane&tab=Everything&search_scope=MyInst_and_CI&vid=01HVD_INST:HVD2&offset=0 No English translation was located.
The book answers a specific critic, Mocianus, who had attacked Facundus's position, and it is the shortest and most personal statement of his case, including his account of why he broke with the papal line. It is the natural companion piece to the Defensio and shares its complete absence from English.
