Jerome. Lives of Illustrious Men 87
87 Athanasius the bishop PL 23, 693
Athanasius bishop of Alexandria, hard pressed by the wiles of the Arians, fled to Constans emperor of Gaul. Returning thence with letters and, after the death of the emperor, again taking refuge in flight, he kept in hiding until the accession of Jovian, when he returned to the church and died in the reign of Valens. Various works by him are in circulation; two books Against the nations, one Against Valens and Ursacius, On virginity, very many On the persecutions of the Arians, also On the titles of the Psalms and Life of Anthony the monk, also Festal epistles and other works too numerous to mention.
Athanasius, Alexandrinae urbis episcopus, multas Arianorum perpessus insidias, ad Constantem Galliarum principem fugit, unde reversus cum litteris, et rursum post mortem ejus fugatus, usque ad Joviani imperium latuit, a quo recepta Ecclesia, sub Valente moritur. Feruntur ejus adversum Gentes duo libri, et contra Valentem et Ursacium unus, et de virginitate, et de persecutionibus Arianorum plurimi, et de Psalmorum titulis, et historia Antonii monachi vitam continens, et ἑορταστικαὶ epistolae, et multa alia, quae enumerare longum est.
Ἀθανάσιος, Ἀλεξανδρείας ἐπίσκοπος, πολλὰς παρὰ τῶν Ἀρειανῶν ὑπομείνας ἐπιβουλὰς, πρὸς Κώνσταντα τὸν Γαλλιῶν βασιλέα προσέφυγεν, ὅθεν ἀναζεύξας μετὰ γραμνάτων, καὶ αὖθις μετὰ τὴν αὐτοῦ τελευτὴν διωχθεὶς, ἕως τῆς βασιλείας Ἰοβιανοῦ διέλαθε, καὶ ἀναλαβὼν τὴν Ἐκκλησίαν, ἐπὶ Οὐάλεντος τελευτᾷ. Φέρονται αὐτοῦ κατὰ τῶν Ἐθνῶν λόγοι δύο, κατὰ Οὐάλεντος καὶ Οὐρσακίου εἷς, περὶ Παρθενίας, περὶ Διωγμῶν Ἀρειαῶν πλεῖστοι, περὶ ἐπιγραφῆς Ψαλμῶν, καὶ Ἱστορία Ἀντωνίου ἀναχωρητοῦ τὸν βίον περιέχουσα, καὶ ἑορταστικαὶ ἐπιστολαὶ, καὶ πλεῖστα ἄλλα τινὰ, ἅπερ ἀπαριθμεῖσθαι ὀκνῶ.
