We have gained some faint light from Jerom (tom. i. p. 26 [tom. i. p. 342, ed. Vallars.], and in Chron. p. 188 [tom. viii. p. 817, ed. Vallars.]), Victor (in Epitome), Orosius (1. vii. c. 33, p. 554), Jornandes (c. 27), Zosimus (1. iv. [c. 24] p. 230), Socrates (1. iv. c. 38), Sozomen (1. vi. c. 40), Idatius (in Chron.). But their united evidence, if weighed against Ammianus alone, is light and unsubstantial.
