Paulinus wishes his departing friend a safe journey by land and by water. This is all that is known concerning the life of Nicetas. Particulars concerning his literary activity are also given by Gennadius and Paulinus. It was not until the researches of Dom Morin, Burn, and others that a larger knowledge was attained concerning the works of Nicetas. The work has not been preserved in its entirety, yet the greater part is still extant.
Nothing is known of the fourth book.
Nothing is known of the sixth book. It is, therefore, not impossible that further works, incorrectly ascribed by tradition to others, are really his. Remy Lafort, S.T.D., Censor Imprimatur.
