Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ser. II, Vol. II: The Ecclesiastical History of Socrates Scholasticus.: Birth of Valentinian the Younger.

Early Church Fathers  Index     

Chapter X.—Birth of Valentinian the Younger.

Soon after the conclusion of this war, and under the same consulate, 589 a son was born to Valentinian, the emperor in the Western parts, to whom the same name as his father’s was given. For Gratian had been born previously to his becoming emperor.


Footnotes

100:589

Sozomen (VI. 10) says the same. There were two Valentinians in the second generation; one a son of Valens, and another the son of Valentinian the Elder. According to Idatius’ Fasti, it was the former that was born during the consulate of Gratian and Dagalaifus; so that Socrates was in error here, confusing perhaps the two younger Valentinians. Valesius adduces other reasons proving the same, which it is unnecessary to repeat here.


Next: Hail of Extraordinary Size; and Earthquakes in Bithynia and the Hellespont.
