Note 154
From Chapter 25 of the Decline & Fall

See, on the death of Valentinian, Ammianus (xxx. 6), Zosimus (1. vi. [c. 17] p. 221), Victor (in Epitom. [c. 45]), Socrates (1. iv. c. 31), and Jerom (in Chron. p. 187 [tom. viii. p. 815, ed. Vallars.], and tom. i. p. 26, ad Heliodor. [tom. i. p. 341, ed. Vallars.]). There is much variety of circumstances among them; and Ammianus is so eloquent that he writes nonsense.
