Schaff, Philip. History of the Christian Church (The Complete Eight Volumes in One). Amazon Kindle Edition, 2014.

§ 203. Victorinus of Petau.
Schaff introduces Victorinus as a rhetorician who became a bishop in Paona before dying as a martyr in 303 (Schaff 2014, loc. 23552, par. 2). Jerome lists numerous written works by Victorinus, though Schaff considers them to be without merit. However, he does summarize a few highlights of the work of Victorinus, none of them striking.
