72. Basilius Caesariensis episcopus Cappadociae clarus
habetur . . . qui multa continentiae et ingenii bona uno
superbiae malo perdidit [chron Ann. 2392, tom. viii. p. 816,
ed. Vallars.]. This irreverent passage is perfectly in the
style and character of St. Jerom. It does not appear in
Scaliger's edition of his Chronicle; but Isaac Vossius found
it in some old MSS. which had not been reformed by the
monks.
