14. Of PANNONIA. Gennadius (De Virt
Illustribus, 100.75) calls him PAULUS
PRESBYTER, and states that he knew from his own testimony (ex lictis
ejus), that he was a Pannonian; but does not say to what church he belonged. He lived probably
in the fifth century--Trithemius and Cave say in De Virginitate servanda et contemtu Mundi ac Vitae institutione Libri
duo addressed to a holy virgin Constantia. He took the opportunity of abusing "the
heretic Jovinian," the great opponent of monasticism [HIERONYMUS],
as a luxurious glutton. The work is lost. In some MSS. of Gennadius, and by Honorins of Autun
(De Scriptor. Eccles. 2.74), he is called, not. Paulus, but Petrus.
