Besides these five books, and the sixth, which is usually appended, addressed to his sister Fuscina, no poem of Avitus has hitherto come forth; nor is it established that more poems of Avitus than these were of old known to Gregory of Tours and to Isidore. Yet the letter to his brother Apollinaris indicates that not a few other works on various subjects were written by him in verse. Of these there is no discussion for us in this place; but only of those books which, continuing the Mosaic history, pursue Exodus and the remaining parts of the Heptateuch, and are found under the name of Alcimus Avitus in certain libraries.
除了這五卷書，以及那通常附加、致其姊妹弗斯基娜（Fuscina）的第六卷之外，亞維圖斯（Avitus）迄今並無其他詩作問世；也無法確定圖爾的貴格利（Gregory of Tours）與伊西多爾（Isidore）當年所知亞維圖斯的詩作多於這些。然而那封致其兄弟亞波里納里斯（Apollinaris）的書信指出，他確曾以詩體寫過不少關於各樣題材的別的作品。關於這些，我們在此不予論述；只論那些延續摩西歷史、接續《出埃及記》及《七經》其餘部分、並在若干圖書館中以亞爾其米．亞維圖斯（Alcimus Avitus）之名被發現的書卷。
Although I would not deny that these belong to Avitus, yet I have observed them to be everywhere so rough and unpolished, and so teeming with errors in all the copies I have seen, that it would be a matter of religious scruple to bring to light a work which the author himself, unless I am mistaken, would prefer to be kept suppressed in such a condition. But whoever has a mind to learn the openings of the individual books will find them from the appended index.
