Lives of Illustrious Men
St Jerome, NPNF II.3; with Gennadius’ continuation
Jerome, 134. Sophronius
Sophronius,1 a man of superlative learning, wrote while yet a lad, In praise of Bethlehem and recently a notable volume, On the overthrow of Serapis, and also to Eustachius, On virginity, and a Life of Hilarion the monk. He rendered short works of mine into Greek in a very finished style, the Psalter also, and the Prophets, which I translated from Hebrew into Latin.
