# On the way to baptism Augustine dismisses an unnamed partner of many years while keeping their son

Date: 386

## The fact

In the Milan years, as Confessions reports, Augustine sent away the unnamed woman with whom he had lived for years and had a son, Adeodatus, as part of a career-and-baptism plot that also contemplated a socially useful marriage. The instrument is that dismissal. She is not given a civic speech in his book. Augustine of Hippo's documented role is: He sent her back to Africa as Confessions tells it, under a marriage-plot for a child-bride he also did not complete. She is unnamed in his book. Adeodatus remains.
