Jerome. Lives of Illustrious Men 134
134 Sophronius PL 23, 715
Sophronius, a man of superlative learning, wrote while yet a lad, In praise of Bethlehem and recently a notable volume, On the overthrow of Serapis, and also to Eustachius, On virginity, and a Life of Hilarion the monk. He rendered short works of mine into Greek in a very finished style, the Psalter also, and the Prophets, which I translated from Hebrew into Latin.
Sophronius vir apprime eruditus, laudes Bethlehem adhuc puer, et nuper de subversione Serapis insignem librum composuit: de virginitate quoque ad Eustochium, et Vitam Hilarionis monachi, opuscula mea, in Graecum eleganti sermone transtulit: Psalterium quoque et Prophetas, quos nos de Hebraeo in Latinum vertimus.
Σωφρόνιος, ἀνὴρ εἰς ἄκρον πεπαιδευμένος, τοὺς ἐπαίνους Βηθλεὲμ ἔτι νέος ὢν συνέθηκεν, ὑπόγυον δὲ περὶ τῆς καταλύσεως τοῦ Σεραπείου ἐπίσημον συνέθηκε λόγον, καὶ περὶ παρθενίας πρὸς Εὐστόχιον, καὶ τὸν Βίον Ἱλαρίωνος μοναχοῦ, τὰ συγγράμματά μου, εἰς ἑλληνικὸν λόγον εὐφυῶς μετέφρασε, καὶ τὸ Ψαλτήριον δὲ, καὶ τοὺς Προφήτας, οὓς ἡμεῖς ἀπὸ τοῦ Ἑβραίου εἰς Ῥωμαϊκὸν μετηνέγκαμεν.
