Historia persecutionis Africanae provinciae (475 - 489) Victor of Vita |
| Quotation |
Tenuit sceleratissimus Huniricus dominationem regnis annis septem, mensibus decem, meritorum suorum mortem consummans. Nam putrefactus et ebulliens vermibus, non corpus, sed partes corporis eirus videntur esse sepultae. Sed et ille legis datae transversor ex Donatianorum haeresi ad eos veniens quondam Nicasius in brevi simili morte periit. |
| Translation |
71 The most wicked Huniric held dominion in his kingdom for seven years and ten months. His death was in accordance with his merits, for as he rotted and the worms multiplied it seemed not so much a body as parts of his body which were buried. In addition, that transgressor of the revealed law who formerly came to them from the heresy of the Donastist, Nicasius, soon perished with a similar death. |
