114 Epiphanius the bishop PL 23, 707

Epiphanius, bishop of Salamina in Cyprus, wrote books Against all heresies and many others which are eagerly read by the learned, on account of their subject matter, and also by the plain people, on account of their language. He is still living, and in his extreme old age composes various brief works.

Epiphanius, Cypri Salaminae episcopus, scripsit adversum omnes Haereses libros, et multa alia, quae ab eruditis propter res, a simplicioribus propter verba lectitantur. Superest usque hodie, et in extrema jam senectute varia cudit opera.

Ἐπιφάνιος, Κύπρου Σαλαμίνης ἐπίσκοπος, ἔγραψε κατὰ πασῶν τῶν αἱρέσεων λόγους, καὶ ἕτερα πολλὰ, ἅτινα παρὰ μὲν τῶν πεπαιδευμένων διὰ τὰ πράγματα, παρὰ δὲ τῶν ἰδιοτῶν διὰ τὰ ῥήματα ἀναγινώσκεται. Περίεστιν ἄχρι τοῦδε, καὶ ἐν ἐσχάτῳ γήρᾳ ποικίλα συντάττει συγγράμματα.
