Dear Frank,
the best introduction to this source can be found in the 'Dizionario
patristico e di antichità cristiane', sub vocem 'Narratio de rebus Persicis'
(entry by F. Scorza Barcellona), with previous bibliography. I remember that
the text is edited in the Patrologia latina, but I cannot now provide you
with a more exact reference (however, you can easily find it in the titles
index in the final volumes).
