Jerome, Chronicle 200a-b

   https://caesarea-maritima.org/testimonia/277

Context

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 an earthquake that struck Palestine during Hadrian’s reign.
