Jerome. Lives of Illustrious Men 93
93 Donatus the heresiarch PL 23, 695
Donatus, from whom the Donatians arose in Africa in the reigns of the emperors Constantinus and Constantius, asserted that the scriptures were given up to the heathen by the orthodox during the persecution, and deceived almost all Africa, and especially Numidia by his persuasiveness. Many of his works, which relate to his heresy, are extant, including On the Holy Spirit, a work which is Arian in doctrine.
929 Donatus, a quo Donatiani per Africam sub Constantio Constantinoque principibus pullulaverunt, asserens, a nostris Scripturas in persecutione Ethnicis traditas, totam pene Africam et maxime Numidiam, sua persuasione decepit. Exstant ejus multa ad suam haeresim pertinentia opuscula, et de Spiritu sancto liber, Ariano dogmati congruens.
930 Δωνᾶτος, ἀφ' οὗ οἱ Δωνατισταὶ ἐν τῇ Ἀφρικῇ, ἐπὶ Κωνσταντίου τοῦ βασιλέως, φάσκων παρὰ ἡμετέρων τὰς θείας Γραφὰς ἐν τῷ διωγμῷ τοῖς Ἐθνικοῖς παραδεδόσθαι, πᾶσαν τὴν Ἀφρικὴν, καὶ μάλιστα τὴν Νουμιδίαν τῇ πειθοῖ ἠπάτησεν. Εἰσὶ τούτου πολλὰ, τῇ αὐτοῦ αἱρέσει ἀνήκοντα, καὶ περὶ τοῦ ἁγίου Πνεύματος λόγος, τῷ Ἀρειανῶν δόγματι ἁρμόζων.
