		The result of his arrival was that John, bishop of Jerusalem, was induced to summon at his capital in June 415 a synod at which Orosius communicated the decisions of Carthage and read such of Augustine's writings against Pelagius as had at that time appeared.
		The "sources" made use of by Orosius have been investigated by T. de Morner; besides the Old and New Testaments, he appears to have consulted Caesar, Livy, Justin, Tacitus, Suetonius, Florus and a cosmography, attaching also great value to Jerome's translation of the Chronicles of Eusebius.
		The history of Orosius was translated into Arabic during the reign of al-Hakam II of Cordova.

		After staying for some time in Africa as the disciple of Augustine, he was sent by him in 415 to Palestine with a letter of introduction to Jerome, then at Bethlehem.
		All that Orosius succeeded in obtaining was John's consent to send letters and deputies to Innocent of Rome; and, after having waited long enough to learn the unfavourable decision of the synod of Diospolis or Lydda in December of the same year, he returned to north Africa, where he is believed to have died.
		The earliest work of Orosius, Consultatio sive commonitorium ad Augustinum de errore Priscillianistarum et Origenistarum, explains its object by its title; it was written soon after his arrival in Africa, and is usually printed in the works of Augustine along with the reply of the latter, Conira Priscillianistas et Origenistas liber ad Orosium.

	Orosius: the Manuscripts of "Seven Books of History against the Pagans"
		When the Spanish priest Paulus Orosius wrote in the early fifth century, at the request of his friend St. Augustine, his Seven books of History against the Pagans he presumably had no idea that he was producing a best-selling school and university text.
		His purpose was complementary to that of his colleague in writing the City of God, namely to refute the current accusation that the collapse of West Roman civilisation was to be attributed to the anger of the Gods of Olympus at the apostasy of their worshippers to Christianity.
		With the coming of the Renaissance the popularity of Orosius' work waned, like that of most secular or semi-secular works of the twilight period of the fall of the empire, before the greater respectability in humanist eyes of the historians of the classical age, and manuscripts become rarer.
