SOPHRONIUS.
SOPHRONIUS a Man of great Erudition, says his Friend S. Jerom, in his Book of Famous Men, writ when he was little more than a Child, the Praise of Bethlehem, and not long * 1.1 ago composed an excellent Treatise of the ruin of Serapis: He translated also into Greek, my Treatise of Virginity to Eustochium, and the Life of Hilarion the Hermit: He likewise tur∣ned into Greek the Latin Translation of the Psalms, and Prophets, which I made from the He∣brew Text.
The Greek Translation of the Book of Famous Men, is also attributed to him. There is another Sophronius Bishop of Jerusalem, who lived under the Emperor Heraclius about the year 636, to whom is ascribed a small Treatise of the Labours and Travels of S. Peter, and of S. Paul: It is a miserable business not worth mentioning.
