E06501The Latin Life of *Virgilius (bishop of Arles, ob. c. 612, S02445) records the bishop's background at Lérins, his church dedications and miracles at Arles, and his death and burial; the text is heavily derivative of Dynamius of Marseilles' Life of *Maximus of Riez (E00852). Written almost certainly at Arles (southern Gaul), c. 612/800, probably before c. 735.
