Lives of Illustrious Men

St Jerome, NPNF II.3; with Gennadius’ continuation

Jerome, 123. Tiberianus

Tiberianus,1 the Baetican, in answer to an insinuation that he shared the heresy of Priscillian, wrote an apology in pompous and mongrel language. But after the death of his friends, overcome by the tediousness of exile, he changed his mind, as it is written in Holy Scripture “the dog returned to his vomit,” and married a nun, a virgin dedicated to Christ.

Notes

  1. End of 4th Century.
