Lat. lxix. 879). Title, 'In hoc volumine continentur hystorie ecclesiastice ex Socrate, Sozomeno, et Theoderito in unum collecte, et de greco nuper in latinum translate, libri numero duodecim. Legite fideliter in Domino'. Preface of Cassiodorus beg. 'Utiliter nimis in capite libri'; text, 'Aiunt antiquis principibus diligentie studium'.

Colophon, 'Explicit liber quintus hystoriarum Egesippi Hierosoliminani (sic) excidii, a beato Ambrosio ex greco sermone in latinum translatus decenter'. Printed in Migne, xv. 1961, among the works of S. Ambrose. f. 137 b.

3. Chronological summary, from Achialon, judge of the Hebrews, to the Emperor Nero; based upon Jerome's version of Eusebius. Beg. 'Achialon Iudeus decem annis. Huius iudicis tempus interpretatio xx (sc. lxx) non meminit'. f. 229 b.
