Jerome, Chronicle 182b-c
https://caesarea-maritima.org/testimonia/276
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
covers the start of Nero’s reign, including events in the governorship of Judaea, which
was headquartered in Caesarea, and in the life of St. Paul.
