Chromatius. Bishop of Aquileia, end of 4th and beginning of 5th cent. One of the most influential of the Western prelates of his day, friend and correspondent of Ambrose, Jerome, Rufinus, and warm supporter of Chrysostom against Oriental assailants. Native of Aquileia, he became its bishop at death of Valerian, ca. 388. Exercised wholesome influence over some of the best-known men of the age. Jerome’s transl. of the books of the Old Testament was greatly helped by the generosity of both Chromatius and Heliodorus (q.v.). Tried to arbitrate quarrel between Jerome and Rufinus, due to Jerome’s sharp criticism of Rufinus’ transl. of Origen’s de Principiis. Died ca. 407. Wrote some 18 Homilies on the Sermon on the Mount.
