Victor the bishop.

Chapter LXXVIII.

Victor, ²⁷⁰⁷ bishop of Cartenna in Mauritania, wrote one long book against the Arians, which he sent to king Genseric by his followers, as I learned from the preface to the work, ²⁷⁰⁸ and a work On the repentance of the publican, ²⁷⁰⁹ in which he drew up a rule of life for the penitent, according to the authority of Scriptures. He also wrote a consolatory work to one Basilius, On the death of a son, filled with resurrection hope and good counsel. He also composed many Homilies, which have been arranged as continuous works and are as I know, made use of by brethren anxious for their own salvation.
