See Jerome, Commentary on Ezekiel 1.1 (Latin text, Patrologia latina 25.21); and Augustine, The Harmony of the Gospels 4.10 (Latin text, Corpus scriptorum ecclesiasticorum latinorum 43.406–407). Augustine and Jerome differ in their identifications of Matthew and Mark; Augustine assigned the human/angel creature to Mark and the lion to Matthew.
