The first sentence of Jerome’s first letter to Paula contains a passage which translators have hitherto misunderstood (Epist. 30, 1). The present note endeavours to clarify the problem by adducing a passage of Marius Victorinus’ commentary on Cicero’s De inventione (1, 34, 58-9). Comparison of these passages of Victorinus and Jerome illustrates some typical features of the latter’s compositional and self-imitatory technique
