Nonantulae," published by Muratori, we find a donation by King Aistulf to that monastery: "prope castellum Aginulfi, quod pertinet de curte nostra lucense, et duas casas masaritias de ipsa curte"; and "granum ilium, quod annue colligitur de portatico, in Curte nostra, quae sita est in Civitate Nova."
In his 'De Civitate Dei, he expressly says of these genealogical names, 'GENTES NON HOMINES; that is, 'peoples, not persons. It was as obvious to him as much a commonplace of knowledge as it was to Ezekiel eight hundred years before him." "It seems passing strange that we should not know it now, then," commented Theron; "I mean, that everybody shouldn't know it."
Babylon the great had fallen, and now Christ was coming in the clouds of heaven to set up the city of God for ever. In that thought he wrote his De Civitate Dei. Read it, gentlemen especially you who are to be priests not merely for its details of the fall of Rome, but as the noblest theodicy which has yet proceeded from a human pen.

His De Civitate Dei and De Vita Beata were the paps at which I suckled my earliest mental nourishment. And even to-day, after all the tragedy and sin and turbulence of my life, that was intended to have been so different, it is from his Confessions that I have gathered inspiration to set down my own although betwixt the two you may discern little indeed that is comparable.

Infessura, Eccardus, vol. ii. p. 1941: 'Panis vero qui ex dicto frumento fiebat, erat ater, foetidus, et abominabilis; e ex necessitate comedebatur, ex quo sæpenumero in civitate morbus viguit.
