Jerome. Lives of Illustrious Men 82

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

82 Reticus the bishop PL 23, 689

Reticius bishop of Autun, among the Aedui, had a great reputation in Gaul in the reign of Constantine. I have read his commentaries On the Song of Songs and another great volume Against Novatian but besides these, I have found no works of his.

Rheticius Aeduorum, id est, Augustodunensis Episcopus, sub Constantino celeberrimae famae habitus est in Galliis. Leguntur ejus Commentarii in Cantica canticorum, et aliud grande volumen adversus Novatianum, nec praeter haec quidquam ejus operum reperi.

Ῥαιτίκιος, Ἰδουάρων, τουτέστιν, Αὐγουστοδίας ἐπίσκοπος, ἐπὶ Κωνσταντίνου ἀπολήψεως χρηστῆς ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ Γαλλίᾳ. Ἀναγινώσκονται τούτου ὑπομνήματα εἰς Ἄισματα τῶν ᾀσμάτων, καὶ μέγα τεῦχος κατὰ Νωβατιανοῦ, οὐδὲν δὲ ἕτερον πλὴν τούτων, ἐκ τῶν αὐτοῦ εὗρον συγγραμμάτων.
