manded part of his troops to pursue him; with the other part he continued the siege, as is related under CONSTANTIUS, and afterwards compelled Constantine to surrender on condition of having his life preserved. Constantine and his second son Julian were sent to Italy; but Honorius did not keep the promise made by his general, and both the captives were put to death. The revolt of Constantine is of great importance in the history of Britain, since in consequence of it and the rebellion of the inhabitants against the officers of Constantine, the emperor Honorius gave up all hopes of restoring his authority over that country, and recognized its independence of Rome,--a circumstance that led to the conquest of Britain by the Saxons.

(Ed. Bened. vol. ii. p. 807 ; comp. vol. v. p. 603.) Vol. IV. 4. Commentarii in Iesaiam, Commentarii in Iesaiam, in eighteen books. The most full and highly finished of all the labours of Jerome in this department. It was commenced apparently as early as A. D. 397, and not completed before A. D. 411. Tillemont considers that there is an allusion to the death of Stilicho in the preface to the eleventh book. (Ed. Bened. vol. iii. p.i.) 5. Homiliae novem in Visiones Iesaiae ex Graeco Origenis. Homiliae novem in Visiones Iesaiae ex Graeco Origenis. Rejected by Vallarsi in his first edition as spurious, but admitted into the second, upon evidence derived from the Apology of Rufinus.

In effect he entered Italy and advanced to Verona; but alarmed by the execution of Allobichus, with whom he seems to have been in correspondence, and apprehending an attack from his own partisan, Gerontius, who had revolted in Spain, he returned into Gaul, and was defeated and obliged to surrender (A. D. 411), on promise of his life, to Constantius, the general of Honorius, who besieged him in Arles. [CONSTANTIUS III.; CONSTANTINUS the tyrant; GERONTIUS.] His life was spared at the time, but he was sent into Italy, where Honorius had him put to death, in violation of the promise on which he had surrendered.
