Caesareae Palaestinae

, and

Caesarea Palestinae

are directly attested at Jerome, Illustrious Men 130. This passage was written ca. 392-393 CE possibly in Bethlehem. Among his many works, St. Jerome wrote a catalog of renowned thinkers of the Roman world during the first years after his move from Rome to Bethlehem. In mostly brief sketches he describes the intellectual achievements, particularly writings, of 135 men, many leaders in the early Church. He portrays five figures from Caesarea Maritima, including in this passage Gelasius (late 4th century).

Gelasius Caesareae Palaestinae, post Euzoium episcopus, accurati limatique sermonis, fertur quaedam scribere, sed celare.

[Ed. Bernoulli 1895]

Gelasius, bishop of Caesarea Palestinae after Euzoius, is said to have written certain works in a careful and polished style, but did not publish them.

[Rev. Schaff 1892 and Halton 1999]
