LICINIANUS and SEVERUS Bishops of Spain.
THese are two Bishops of Spain mention'd by Isidore in these following words: Licinianus Bishop of Carthage in Spain was learned in the Holy Scripture. We have read some of his Letters; where∣of there is one about the Sacrament of Baptism, and many written to Eutropius Bishop of Valentia; but the other Fruits of his Labour and Industry are not come to our hands. He flourish'd in the time of the Emperor Mauritius; and died at Constantinople, being poyson'd by his Enemies.
Severus Bishop of Malaga, a Friend and Collegue of Licinianus, wrote a little Treatise against Vin∣centius Bishop of Saragosa, who had deserted the Catholick Faith, and was fall'n into the Error of the Arians. He wrote also a Letter of Virginity to his Sister, entituled, The Ring. We know nothing but the Title of it, therefore cannot tell how it is written. He flourish'd and died under the same Em∣peror.
