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

47 Maximus PL 23, 661

Maximus, under the same emperors propounded in a remarkable volume the famous questions, What is the origin of evil? and Whether matter is made by God.

Maximus, sub iisdem principibus famosam quaestionem insigni volumine ventilavit, unde malum, et quod materia a Deo facta sit.

Μάξιμος ἐπὶ τῶν αὐτῶν βασιλέων θαυμαστὸν ζήτημα ἐν ἐπισήμῳ τεύχει συνέταξε, τουτέστιν, Πόθεν τὸ κακὸν, καὶ ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡ ὕλη ἐδόθη.
