106 Pacianus the bishop PL 23, 703

Pacianus, bishop of Barcelona, in the Pyrenees Mountains, a man of chaste eloquence, and as distinguished by his life as by his speech, wrote various short works, among which are The Deer, and Against the Novatians, and died in the reign of Emperor Theodosian, in extreme old age.

Pacianus, in Pyrenaei jugis Barcilonae episcopus, castitate et eloquentia, et tam vita, quam sermone clarus, scripsit varia opuscula, de quibus est Cervus, et contra Novatianos. Sub Theodosio principe, jam ultima senectute, mortuus est.

Πακιανὸς, ἐν τοῖς Πυῤῥιναίου μέρεσι Βαρκίλωνος ἐπίσκοπος, σώφρονι βίῳ, εὐφραδείᾳ καὶ λόγῳ λαμπρὸς, συνέταξε ποικίλα, ἀφ' ὧν ἐστι Κέρβος, καὶ κατὰ τῶν Νωβατιανῶν. Ἐπὶ Θεοδοσίου βασιλέως ἐν ἐσχάτῳ γήρᾳ ἐτελεύτησεν.
