Helvidius

Helvidius, a fourth century theologian, who taught in refutation of the perpetual virginity of Mary, has one paragraph in Philip Schaff and David Schley Schaff, History of the Christian Church. Wikipedi also has only one short paragraph. That he wrote and got St Jerome all upset seems to be all that is known about him

Against Helvidius by St. Jerome is posted on the Internet but is the work by Helvidius anywhere to be found?

Found many references to his writing [104 in 44] but did not find a copy of the work in Logos. [Platinum]

In the introduction to Jerome's rebuttal of Helvidius I find "The only contemporary notice preserved of Helvidius is that by Jerome in the following pages."

Schaff, Philip. The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers Second Series, Vol. VI, pp 334 ff. Oak Harbor: Logos Research Systems, 1997.

Yet another work that all we know about it are the comments by those that found it to be in error – thanks for the conformation
