Victor Vitensis ( or Victor of Vita ; born circa 430 ) was an African bishop of the Province of Byzacena ( called Vitensis from his See of Vita ) . His importance rests on his Historia persecutionis Africanae Provinciae , temporibus Geiserici et Hunirici regum Wandalorum . This is mainly a contemporary narrative of the cruelties practised against the orthodox Christians of Northern Africa by the Arian ___MASK61___ . Formerly divided into five books , this work is now usually edited in three , of which the first , dealing with the reign of Geiseric ( 427 - 77 ) , is derived from the accounts of others , while the second and third , covering the reign of Huneric , are a strictly contemporary account of events , of which the author was in the main an eyewitness . At times he exaggerates , but he records little that did not happen . Victor throws much light on social and religious conditions in Carthage and on the African liturgy of the period . His history contains many documents not otherwise accessible , e . g . the Confession of Faith drawn up for the orthodox bishops by Eugenius of Carthage and presented to Huneric at the conference of Catholic and Arian bishops in 484 . Two documents : a Passio beatissimorum martyrum qui apud Carthaginem passi sunt sub impio rege Hunerico ( die VI . Non . Julias 484 ) and a Notitia Provinciarum et Civitatum Africae ( List of the Provinces and Cities of Africa ) , formerly appended to all the manuscripts and now incorporated in the printed editions , are probably not Victor ' s . The former may be the work of one of his contemporaries . The latter is a list of the Catholic bishops who were summoned to the 484 conference and their Episcopal sees in the Latin provinces of North Africa , arranged according to provinces in this order : Proconsularis , Numidia , Byzacena , Mauretania Caesariensis , Mauretania Sitifensis , Tripolitana , Sardinia .
