Works

Vita S. Hilarii Arelatensis

He is generally considered to be the author of the Vita S. Hilarii Arelatensis, printed by Barralis in the Chronologia Sanctae Insulae Lerinensis, p. 103, and by Surius under 5th May. The piece in question is, however, ascribed in the Arles MS. to a certain Reverentius or Ravennius, the successor of Hilarius in his episcopal chair.
