Jerome. Lives of Illustrious Men 84
84 Juvencus the presbyter PL 23, 691
Juvencus, a Spaniard of noble family and presbyter, translating the four gospels almost verbally in hexameter verses, composed four books. He wrote some other things in the same metre relating to the order of the sacraments. He flourished in the reign of Constantinus.
Juvencus, nobilissimi generis, Hispanus presbyter, quatuor Evangelia hexametris versibus pene ad verbum transferens, quatuor libros composuit, et nonnulla eodem metro ad Sacramentorum ordinem pertinentia. Floruit sub Constantino principe.
Ἰούβεγκος, περιφανοῦς γένους, Ἱσπανὸς πρεσβύτερος, τῶν τεσσάρων Εὐαγγελίων δι' ἑξαμέτρων σχεδὸν κατὰ πόδας, τέσσαρας συνέταξε βίβλους, καί τινα τῷ αὐτῷ μέτρῳ εἰς μυστικὴν προσήκοντα τάξιν. Ἤνθησεν ἐπὶ Κωνσταντίνου βασιλέως.
