13. See the Chronicle of Idatius. That bishop, a Spaniard
and a contemporary, places the passage of the Vandals in the
month of May, of the year of Abraham (which commences in
October) 2444. This date, which coincides with A.D. 429, is
confirmed by Isidore, another Spanish bishop, and is justly
preferred to the opinion of those writers who have marked
for that event one of the two preceding years. See Pagi
Critica, tom. ii. p. 205, etc.
