Letter 150: From Procopius to Jerome
[This letter also survives among the works of Procopius of Gaza, to whom it properly belongs. Since Procopius flourished about a century after Jerome's death, it obviously cannot have been addressed to him. Another case of misattribution in the manuscript tradition.]
[Not by Jerome. Wrong attribution — Procopius of Gaza lived c. 465-528 AD, a century after Jerome's death in 420.]
