Commentaries on _Job,'? and numerous other works,® to give an account of which would be a work in itself.

SIRISCILLIAN, BISHOP of Avila,! who, at the instigation of the faction of Hydatius and Ithacius, was killed at d Trier by Maximus? the tyrant, published many works, some of which survive to the present day.?
2. To this day he is accused by some of being a follower of the heresy of Gnosticism, that is, of Basilides and Marcion, about whom Irenaeus wrote,* although others defend him as not sharing the views that are ascribed to him.®

CXXIV. AMBROSE THE BISHOP
JMBROSE, BISHOP of Milan,! continues writing down to the present day.2 Concerning him I postpone judgment in that he is still alive® lest I get blamed for flattery, on the one hand, or, on the other, for telling the truth.t
NOTES 1. See N. B. McLynn, Ambrose of Milan: Church and Court in a Christian Capital (Berkeley, 1994).
2. "usque in praesentem diem scribit": cf. Prol. (to DVI) 5: "qui usque hodie scriptitant." Is he already thinking of Ambrose and sharpening his rapier? For Ambrose's writings, see F. Braschi and A. Zani, "Guida ai testi di
Sant'Ambrogio," Theologia 22, 3 (1997): 201-315.
3. "de quo quia superest": Withholding judgment because the person is still alive, while understandable as a principle of literary criticism, is conveniently forgotten elsewhere, as, for example, in regard to the other Ambrose (DVI 126): "usque hodie superest," and Epiphanius (DVI 114):
"scripsit Adversus omnes haereses .
. Superest usque hodie." This wait-andsee principle of literary criticism can also be glimpsed in ¢p. 58, to Paulinus of Nola, where, after a series of thumb-nail cameos on Tertullian, Cyprian,
Victorinus, Lactantius, Arnobius, and Hilary, he concludes: "taceo de ceteris vel defunctis vel adhuc viventibus, super quibus in utramque partem post nos alii judicabunt" (CSEL 54, 539). If only he had been magnanimous enough to repeat the advice he had given to Eustochium in ¢p. 22, where he shows perfect familiarity with at least De virginibus, libri tres, dedicated by Ambrose to his sister, Marcellina, in A.D. 377: "Lege ... et Ambrosii nostri quae nuper ad sororem scripsit opuscula, in quibus tanto se fudit eloquio ut, quidquid ad laudem virginum pertinet, exquisierit, ordinarit, expresserit" (CSEL 54, 174-75).

CXXV. EVAGRIUS THE BISHOP
VAGRIUS, BISHOP of Antioch,! a man of keen and ex-
traordinary intelligence, while still a priest read to me : tractates on diverse Umobécewy, subjects, which he had not yet published,? and he translated, from Greek to Latin,
Athanasius's Life of Blessed Antony.® NOTES 1. Evagrius of Antioch, c. 320-c. 394; not to be confused with Evagrius
Ponticus (c. 345—c. 399), excluded probably because of his Origenist leanings and because Rufinus was his pupil.
2. Jerome had enjoyed the hospitality and encouragement of Evagrius during a period of illness prior to his departure to the desert in Chalcis, and used him as a conduit for his mail after arriving there. Writing to Damasus in Rome in 3476 (¢p. 15.5), Jerome requests, "and, lest the obscurity of the place in which I dwell should baffle the letter carriers, deign to direct your epistle to the priest Evagrius whom you know very well" (ACW
33, 73). See also ¢p. 1.15: "our friend Evagrius" (ACW 33, 27 and 189 n.
22); ¢p. 7.2: "the letter was brought to me through the instrumentality of the holy Evagrius in that part of the desert which draws a vast line of demarcation between the Syrians and the Saracens" (ACW 33, 41).
3. Evagrius replaced an earlier (c. 365), crudely literal Latin translation with his own newer (c. 370) version following classical principles; cf. W.
Berschin, Greek Letters (1988), 48—49 [see also, loc. cit., 5'7—-58], quoting the interesting Prolog in which Evagrius defends his procedures, later reproduced by Jerome in his ¢p. 57, ad Pammachium de optimo genere interpretandi.

CXXX. GELASIUS THE BISHOP
ELASIUS,! WHO SUCCEEDED Euzoius as bishop of Caesarea in Palestine,? is said to have composed certain
Y| works in an accurate and precise style,® but refrained from publishing them.*

"The Lost Ecclesiastical History of Gelasius of Caesarea: Towards a Reconsideration," PBR 6 (1987): 146-52; idem, "Gélase ou Rufin. Un fait nouveau sur des fragments oubliés de Gélase de Césarée (CPG g521)," Byzantion 57 (19847): 360—go, which reexamines the problem of the relationship betweeen the History of Gelasius and that of Rufinus, on the basis of the testimony of Photius (15, 88, 89, 102).

CXXXI. THEOTIMUS THE BISHOP

BISHOP of Tomi in Scythia, has pub- | lished short treatises in the form of dialogues! and in the old style of incisi.?
I hear that he has composed other works besides.

APPENDIX 1. JEROME'S BIBLIOGRAPHY
OF ORIGEN
[From Ep. 33.4~85, To Paula, CSEL 54, 255-59] But why, you ask me, have I thus mentioned Varro and the man of brass (i.e., Chalcenter). Simply to bring to your notice our Christian man of brass, or rather, man of adamant [Adamantius]—Origen,
I mean—whose zeal for the study of Scripture has fairly earned for him this latter name. Would you learn what monuments of his genius he has left us? The following list displays them.
