Bede

AD 735
four (the fourth part): Behold the madness of Arius, which arose from Alexandria, and reached as far as the Gallic ocean, and pursued the godly, not only with a famine of the word of God, but also as wild beasts, with a material sword.

Bede

AD 735

Victorinus of Pettau

AD 303
That is, it was waiting for the devouring of many unrighteous souls. This is the pale horse.
