    • 354 CE – 430 CE, Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis, De Civitate Dei 26.22:
      Sed Porphyrius ait, inquiunt, ut beata sit anima, corpus esse omne fugiendum. Nihil ergo prode est, quia incorruptibile diximus futurum corpus, si anima beata non erit, nisi omne corpus effugerit.
      But it is said Porphiry said we must escape from our bodies so that our souls may be in bliss. It isn't useful for us to say the body will not be corrupted, if the soul won't be in bliss too, unless our souls escape from our bodies.
    • late 4th century AD, Egeria, Peregrinatio ad Loca Sancta 1.8.3:
      Et est ibi praeterea arbor sicomori, quae dicitur a patriarchis posita esse; nam iam vetustissima est et ideo permodica est, licet tamen adhuc fructus afferat. Nam cuicumque incommoditas fuerit, vadent ibi et tollent surculos, et prode illis est.
      Moreover, there is a mulberry tree there said to have been placed by the Church Patriarchs, as it is very old and as an effect also small, although it still manages to bear fruit. If anyone has a source of discomfort, they go there and grab some shoots, and this tree is then helpful to them.
