bishop of Genoa about the middle of the fifth century, was the son of Eucherius, bishop of Lyons, and the pupil of Salvianus [SALVIANUS], who dedicated to him his two works, De Avaritia and De Providentia. He is supposed to have died before A. D. 475, because in the acts of the Council of Aries, held during that year, a certain Theophlastus is spoken of as presiding over the see of Genoa.
