Petrarch's Letters to Classical Authors

Note 91 — VII. TO ASINIUS POLLIO

Mario Emilio Cosenza translation

Pliny, N. H., vii, 24, and St. Jerome, Chron., a. Abr., 2027 (Migne, Vol. XXVII, coll. 441, 442, and Reiff., p. 83). From the similarity of expressions, it again results that St. Jerome was the direct source; for in Pliny there is no word alluding to the period of two years.
