Cassiodorus, on Dan 12:1

Cassiodorus · c. A.D. 487–583
Dan 12:1 · Douay-Rheims
“But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come such as never was from the time that nations began even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book.”
On this verse:
“The devil is also called a prince, as in the Gospel passage, "Behold, the prince of this world comes, and in me he will not find anything." Likewise a good angel is called a prince, as we read in Daniel: "Michael your prince." So they are saying that the hope of humankind must rest in neither wicked nor good angels but in the Lord alone. Even if we love the good angels for the devotion they bestow on us, we praise the Lord's blessing that they manifest.”
