Sulpicius Severus mentions the arch-heretic with esteem and pity.
Felix profecto, si non pravo studio corrupisset
optimum ingenium; prorsus multa in eo animi et corporis bona
cerneres. (Hist. Sacra, l. ii. p. 439.)
Even Jerom (tom. i. in Script. Eccles. p. 302 [tom. ii. p. 934, ed. Vallars.]) speaks with temper of Priscillian and Latronian.
