Augustine of Hippo — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 1:1

Patristic A.D. 430
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
“(de Hær. 8, et 10.) Cerinthus then and Ebion made Jesus Christ only man; Paul of Samosata, following them, asserted Christ not to have had an existence from eternity, but to have begun to be from His birth of the Virgin Mary; he also thought Him nothing more than man. This heresy was afterwards confirmed by Photinus.”
