Text Chronicarum libri II (395 - 406) Sulpicius Severus
Quotation Qui non dicam regum, sed omnium hominum et uel immanium bestiarum sordidissimus dignus extitit, qui persecutionem primus inciperet. Nescio an et postremus explerit, siquidem opinione multorum receptum sit ipsum ante Antichristum uenturum.
Translation He [Nero] was the most despicable not only among kings, but also among all humans and even wild beasts. He was worthy of the first persecution. I do not know with certainty whether he will be the last one to end it, if — as is the opinion of many — he will appear [in time] before the Antichrist.
