Arnobius the Younger

ARNOBIUS THE YOUNGER: Reputed author of certain writings, concerning which scholars are not agreed except that they belong to the fifth century. They include: (1) Commentarii in psalmos, which are usually thought to be the work of a semi-Pelagian Gaul, though they may have been written in Rome; (2) Adnotationes ad quædam evangeliorum loca, which seems to have been used in the supposed gospel-commentary of Theophilus of Antioch (q.v.); (3) Arnobii catholici et Serapionis conflictus de Deo trino et uno; (4) The so called Prædestinatus, which may have been the work of this mysterious Arnobius (see Prædestinatus).
