79 Arnobius the rhetorician PL 23, 687

Arnobius was a most successful teacher of rhetoric at Sicca in Africa during the reign of Diocletian, and wrote volumes Against the nations which may be found everywhere.

Arnobius sub Diocletiano principe Siccae apud Africam florentissime rhetoricam docuit, scripsitque adversum gentes, quae vulgo exstant, volumina.

Ἀρνόβιος ἐπὶ Διοκλετιανοῦ ἐν Σίκκῃ τῇ πόλει τῆς Ἀφρικῆς, ἀνθηρῶς τὴν ῥητορικὴν ἐδίδαξε, καὶ συνεγράψατο κατὰ τῶν ἐθνῶν τεύχη, ἅπερ τυγχάνει παρὰ πολλοῖς.
