A few pseudepigraphical writings were connected to him, but Jerome does not include him in ''De viris illustribus'' written between 392 and 393 AD.

Residences of this type can have a variety of names, such as manse, parsonage, presbytery, rectory, or vicarage.

This practice exists in many denominations because of the tendency of clergy to be transferred from one church to another at relatively frequent intervals. Also, in smaller communities, suitable housing is not always available. In addition, such a residence can be supplied in lieu of salary, which may not be able to be provided (especially at smaller congregations).
