100 Hilary the bishop PL 23, 699
Hilary, a bishop of Poitiers in Aquitania, was a member of the party of Saturninus bishop of Arles. Banished into Phrygia by the Synod of Beziérs he composed twelve books Against the Arians and another book On Councils written to the Gallican bishops, and Commentaries on the Psalms that is on the first and second, from the fifty-first to the sixty-second, and from the one hundred and eighteenth to the end of the book. In this work he imitated Origen, but added also some original matter. There is a little book of his To Constantius which he presented to the emperor while he was living in Constantinople, and another On Constantius which he wrote after his death and a book Against Valens and Ursacius, containing a history of the Ariminian and Selucian Councils and To Sallust the prefect orAgainst Dioscurus, also a book of Hymns and mysteries, a commentary On Matthew and treatises On Job, which he translated freely from the Greek of Origen, and another elegant little work Against Auxentius andEpistles to different persons. They say he has written On the Song of Songs but this work is not known to us. He died at Poictiers during the reign of Valentinianus and Valens.
Hilarius, urbis Pictavorum Aquitaniae episcopus, factione Saturnini Arelatensis episcopi, de synodo Biterrensi in Phrygiam relegatus, duodecim adversus Arianos confecit libros et alium librum de Synodis, quem ad Galliarum episcopos scripsit, et in psalmos commentarios, primum videlicet, et secundum, et a quinquagesimo primo usque ad sexagesimum secundum, et a centesimo decimo octavo usque ad extremum, in quo opere imitatus Origenem, nonnulla etiam de suo addidit. Est ejus et ad Constantium libellus, quem viventi Constantinopoli porrexerat, et alius in Constantium, quem post mortem ejus scripsit, et liber adversum Valentem et Ursacium, historiam Ariminensis et Seleuciensis synodi continens: et ad praefectum Salustium, sive contra Dioscorum, et liber Hymnorum et Mysteriorum alius, et commentarii in Matthaeum, et tractatus in Job, quos de Graeco Origenis ad sensum transtulit, et alius elegans libellus contra Auxentium, et nonnullae ad diversos epistolae. Aiunt quidam, scripsisse eum et in Cantica canticorum; sed a nobis hoc opus ignoratur. Mortuus est Pictavis, Valentiniato et Valente regnantibus.
Ἱλάριος, Πικταβίων Ἀκοιτανίας ἐπίσκοπος, συσκευῇ Σατουρνίνου τῆς Ἀρελατῶν ἐπισκόπου, ἀπὸ τῆς συνόδου Βιτερισσίων εἰς Φρυγίαν ἐξορισθηὶς, δέκα καὶ δύο κατὰ Ἀρειανῶν συνέταξε λόγους, καὶ ἔτερον περὶ τῶν Συνόδων, ὅντινα πρὸς Γαλλιῶν Ἐπισκόπους ἔγραψε, καὶ εἰς ψαλμοὺς ὑπομνήματα, πρῶτον λέγω δὲ καὶ δεύτερον, ἀπὸ πεντηκοστοῦ πρώτου ἔως ἑξηκοστοῦ δευτέρου, καὶ ἀπὸ ἑκατοστοῦ ὀκτοκαιδεκάτου ἕως τοῦ ἐσχάτου, ἐν ᾗ συντάξει Ὠριγένην ἐμιμήσατο, τινὰ ἐξ ἰδίων προσθείς· Ἔστιν αὐτοῦ καὶ πρὸς Κωνστάντιον λίβελλος, ὅντινα περιόντι ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει ἐπέδωκε, καὶ ἕτερος εἰς Κωνστάντιον, ὅντινα μετὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ ἀποβίωσιν συνέταξε, καὶ βίβλοι κατὰ Οὐάλεντος καὶ Οὐρσακίου, τὴν ἱστοριαν τῆς Ἀριμησίου καὶ Σελευκείας συνόδου περιέχουσαι, καὶ πρὸς Σαλούστιον ἔπαρχον, ἤτοι κατὰ Διοσκόρου, καὶ τῶν Λιβερτίνων, καὶ ἕτερος λόγος Μυστηρίων, καὶ ὑπομνήματα εἰς Ματθαῖον, καὶ εἰς τὸν Ἰὼβ ὁμιλίαι, ἃς ἁπὸ τοῦ Ἑλληνικοῦ Ὠριγένους μετέφρασε, καὶ ἕτερος εὐφυέστατος λίβελλος κατὰ Αὐξεντίου, καὶ πολλαὶ πρὸς διαφόρους Ἐπιστολαί. Φασὶ δέ τινες γεγραφέναι αὐτὸν καὶ εἰς τὰ Ἄισματα τῶν ᾀσμάτων, ἅπερ παρ' ἡμῖν ἐστιν ἄγνωστα. Ἐτελεύτησεν ἐν Πικτάβῃ Βαλεντινιανοῦ καὶ Οὐάλεντος βασιλευόντων.
