Jerome. Lives of Illustrious Men 125

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

125 Evagrius the bishop PL 23, 711

Evagrius, bishop of Antioch, a man of remarkably keen mind, while he was yet presbyter read me various treatises on various topics, which he had not yet published. He translated also the Life of the blessed Anthony from the Greek of Athanasius into our language.

949 Evagrius, Antiochiae episcopus, acris ac ferventis ingenii, cum adhuc esset presbyter, diversarum hypotheseon tractatus mihi legit, quos necdum edidit; Vitam quoque Beati Antonii de Graeco Athanasii in sermonem nostrum transtulit.

950 Εὐάγριος, Ἀντιοχείας ἐπίσκοπος, εὐφυοῦς καὶ ἄκρας διανοίας, ἔτι πρεσβύτερος ὢν, διαφόρων ὑποθέσεων ὁμιλίας ἀνέγνω μοι, ἃς οὔπω ἐξέδωκε, καὶ τὸν Βίον δὲ τοῦ μακαρίου Ἀντωνίου ἀπὸ ἑλληνικοῦ Ἀθανασίου, εἰς τὴν ἡμετέραν διάλεξιν μετήνεγκεν.
