> 354-431: Paulinus, bishop of Nola, (whom Avalos criticizes for alleged
> racism) liberates his own slaves, spends his considerable wealth
> redeeming citizens of Campania, and then, (allegedly, will need to
> look into this further), goes into slavery to redeem one captive.

Does anyone have any further information that might be of assistance in discovering what exactly the particulars of this might be?
