Chapter LXXVI.
Paul2704
the presbyter, a
Pannonian by nationality, as I learned from his own mouth, wrote On
preserving virginity, and contempt for the world, and the
Ordering of life or the correction of morals, written in a
mediocre style, but flavoured with divine salt. The two books were
addressed to a certain noble virgin devoted to Christ, Constantia by
name, and in them he mentions Jovinian the heretic and preacher of
voluptuousness and lusts, who was so far removed from leading a
continent and chaste life, that he belched forth his life in the midst
of luxurious banquets.2705
