I want to translate a passage from Symmachus' letter to Flavius Nikomachus (Sym., Ep., II, 66). I mean

conperto ex relatione Victoris spectabilis viri negotio judicabis

Am I right if I translate this as follows: "[I] found out it in connection with remarkable man named [Aurelius] Victor who practiced jurisprudence"?

"[I] found out it from spectabilate named [Aurelius] Victor who practiced jurisprudence".
