LXXXI.
VINCENTIUS presbyter, et ipse natione Gallus, in Divinis Scripturis exercitatus, linguam habens usu loquendi et maiorum lectione politam, commentatus est In Psalmos. Cuius operis legit aliqua sancto homini Dei Cannati me audiente, promittens simul, si Dominus vitam et vires daret, se in toto Psalterio eodem studio laboraturum.
(ed. E. Cushing Richardson 1896)
LXXXI.
Presbyter Vincent, also of Gallic origin, skilled in Divine Scripture and having a style polished by speaking and by wide reading, commented On the Psalms. I have heard part of this work when he read it to a man of God Cannas. He promised at the same time, that if the Lord should spare his life and strength, he would treat the whole Psalter in the same way.

About the source:
Author: Gennadius of Marseille Title: De viris illustribus, Lives of Illustrious Men, De viris inlustribus, On the lives of famous men
On the Lives of Famous Men Origin: Marseille (Gaul) Denomination: Catholic/Nicene/Chalcedonian
The "Lives of Illustrious Men" by Gennadius of Marseille is the continuation of Jerome`s work bearing the same title. It contains 99 additional additional entries on different famous ecclesiestatics. It was written in the end of 5th century. At one point Gennadius writes that the death of presbyter and monk Theodore (Theodulus) of Coelesyria occured `three years ago, in the reign of Zeno` (died AD 491). Gennadius also knows that pope Gelasius died (AD 496) and Julianus Pomerius is considered alive (d. AD 498). Therefore, Gennadius composed majority of his work most probably in the first half of the 490s.
