St Jerome (AD 345–420) · De viris illustribus · PL 23, 598–720

122 Latronianus PL 23, 711

Latronianus, of Spain, a man of great learning, and in the matter of versification worthy to be compared with the poets of ancient time, was also put to death at Trèves with Priscillianus, Felicissimus, Julianus, and Euchrotia, coöriginators with him of schism. Various fruits of his genius written in different metres are extant.

Latronianus, provinciae Hispaniae, valde eruditus, et in metrico opere veteribus comparandus, caesus est et ipse Treveris cum Priscilliano, Felicissimo, Juliano, Euchrotia, ejusdem factionis auctoribus. Exstant ejus ingenii opera, diversis metris edita.

Ματρωνιανὸς, ἐπαρχίας Ἱσπανίας, σφόδρα πεπαιδευμένος, καὶ εἰς ἐποποιΐαν τοῖς ἀρχαίοις συγκρινόμενος, ἐσφάγη καὶ αὐτὸς ἐν Τριβέρει ἅμα Πρισκιλλιανῷ, Φηλικισσίμῳ, Ἰουλιανῷ, καὶ Εὐχρωτίᾳ, τοῖς ἐξάρχοις τῆς αὐτῆς αἱρέσεως. Εἰσὶ τούτου συγγράμματα διαφόρῳ μέτρῳ ἐκδοθέντα.
