4. CHARINUS, an heretical writer of uncertain date.

His name is written by Augustin (De Actis cum Felice Manichaeo, 2.6), and the author of the book De Fide, contra Manichaeos, formerly attributed to Augustin, LEUCIUS or LEUTIUS, and in one MS. LOCUTIUS, and in some printed editions LEONTIUS. Photius writes the name LEUCIUS CHARINUS (Λεύκιος Χαρῖνος). In the Decretum of pope Gelasius, De Libris Apocryphis, it is written LENTICIUS.
