Jerome, Chronicle 172i-173b
https://caesarea-maritima.org/testimonia/272
Context
St. Jerome undertook to write a universal history of the world early
in his illustrious career. His work translated and annotated the second half of
Eusebius’ work, finished over a half century earlier, which was organized into a
tabulated concordance of chronological schemes (χρονικοὶ κανόνες) ranging from Abraham
to Constantine I; he continued Eusebius in the same format with his own historical
compendium for the years 327-378 C.E. This passage from Jerome’s translation of Eusebius
records the appointment of Pontius Pilate to the governorship of Judaea by
Tiberius.
