St Gregory of Tours, tr. Dalton, 1927
Book 2, Of the Death of the Holy Perpetuus, and of the Episcopate of Volusianus and Virus
After these events the blessed Perpetuus, bishop of Tours, after completing thirty years in his episcopate, went to his rest.1 Volusianus, a man of senatorial family, was appointed in his place. But he was regarded with suspicion by the Goths, and in the seventh year of his episcopate was taken captive into Spain, where he soon ended his days. Verus, succeeding to his place, was consecrated as seventh bishop after the blessed Martin.
