Matthew 14:21 Douay-Rheims

And the number of them that did eat, was five thousand men, besides women and children.

Hilary of Poitiers

c. A.D. 310–367 Patristic

Then the loaves are given to the Apostles, because through them the gifts of divine grace were to be rendered. And the number of them that did eat is found to be the same as that of those who should believe; for we find in the book of Acts that out of the vast number of the people of Israel, five thousand men believed.
