THEODORUS.

THEODORUS, Bishop of Perinthus, a City of Thrace, who was also call'd Heracleus, was a Bishop of the Eusebian Party. St. Athanasius in his Letter to the Bishops of Egypt, places him * 1.1 among the Number of those that were condemned, being Priests, and afterwards promoted to Epi∣scopal Dignity by the Intrigues of the Arians. He assisted at the Council of Tyre, and was one of the Deputies that were sent to Mareotis, to Inform against St. Athanasius. He assisted also at the Council of Antioch, and came to that of Sardica, and having retir'd from thence with the Bishops of the East; he was Depos'd and Excommunicated in a Synod of the Western Bishops. St. Jerom and Theodoret, Testify, that he was very Learned, and compos'd in the Reign of the Emperour Con∣stantius, very Elegant and Clear Commentaries upon the Gospel of St. Matthew, and St. John, up∣on the Epistles of St. Paul, and the Psalms, in which he endeavours, particularly to explain the Hi∣storical Sence of them. We have in the Catena upon St. Matthew, publish'd by Corderius, and printed at Antwerp, in the Year 1642, some Fragments attributed to this Theodorus: But one can∣not be certain upon the Credit of this Catena, that they are truly his.
