Heliodorus. Bishop of Altinum, near Aquileia, at about 400 a.d. Originally a soldier. One of a band of friends who were drawn together at Aquileia, ca. 372, for the study of Scriptures and the practice of asceticism, among them being Chromatius (q.v.), Jerome, Evagrius, Rufinus, Bonosus. They went to Syria through Constantinople, and through Asia Minor to Antioch. Heliodorus went then to Jerusalem, staying with Florentinus who employed his wealth in the entertainment of pilgrims; considered for a time going to the desert with Jerome, but obligations kept him from doing so; soon afterwards became bishop; encouraged Jerome in his scriptural work.
