Jerome. Lives of Illustrious Men 92

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

92 Triphylius the bishop PL 23, 695

Triphylius, bishop of Ledra or Leucotheon, in Cyprus, was the most eloquent man of his age, and was distinguished during the reign of Constantius. I have read his Commentary on the Song of Songs. He is said to have written many other works, none of which have come to our hand.

Triphyllius, Cypri Ledrensis, sive Leucotheon episcopus, eloquentissimus suae aetatis, et sub rege Constantio celeberrimus fuit. Legi ejus in Cantica canticorum commentarios. Et multa alia composuisse fertur quae in nostras manus minime pervenerunt.

Τριφύλλιος, Κύπρου Λήδρου, ἤτοι Λευτεῶνος ἐπίσκοπος, εὐφραδὴς καὶ ἐπὶ Κωνσταντίου ἐπίσημος. Ἀνέγνων τούτου εἰς Ἄισματα ᾀσμάτων ὑπομνήματα, ὅστις, πολλὰ λέγεται συγγεγραφέναι, ἅτινα εἰς τὰς ἡμετέρας χεῖρας οὐ περιῆλθεν.
