Lives of Illustrious Men (De Viris Illustribus) · Saint Jerome

Chapter XCVIII.

ViriIll 1.100.1

Acacius, who, because he was blind in one eye, they nicknamed “the one-eyed,” bishop of the church of Cæsarea in Palestine, wrote seventeen volumes On Ecclesiastes and six of Miscellaneous questions, and many treatises besides on various subjects. He was so influential in the reign of the emperor Constantius that he made Felix bishop of Rome in the place of Liberius.
