107 Photinus the heresiarch PL 23, 703

Photinus, of Gallograecia, a disciple of Marcellus, and ordained bishop of Sirmium, attempted to introduce the Ebionite heresy, and afterwards having been expelled from the church by the Emperor Valentinianus, wrote many volumes, among which the most distinguished are Against the nations, and To Valentinianus.

Photinus, de Gallograecia, Marcelli discipulus, Sirmii episcopus ordinatus, Hebionis haeresim instaurare conatus est, postea a Valentiniano principe pulsus Ecclesia, plura scripsit volumina, in quibus vel praecipua sunt contra Gentes, et ad Valentinianum libri.

Φωτεινὸς, ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλλογραικίας, Μαρκέλλου μαθητὴς, Σιρμίου ἐπίσκοπος, τὴν τῶν Ἑβιωνιτῶν αἵρεσιν ἀνανεῶσαι ἐπεχείρησεν, ὕστερον παρὰ Βαλεντινιανοῦ βασιλέως ἐξεώθη τῆς Ἐκκλησίας· πολλὰ συντάξας τεύχη, ἀφ' ὧν εἰσιν ἐξαίρετοι κατὰ τῶν Ἐθνῶν, καὶ πρὸς Βαλεντινιανὸν λόγοι.
