SAINT AEONIUS, BISHOP OF ARLES
Saint Aeonius was Bishop of Arles in France and the successor of Leontius.
LETTERS ADDRESSED TO HIM STILL EXIST
He lived at the time of Popes Felix III, Gelasius, Anastasius and Symmachus, of whom there are still letters to him regarding the metropolitan rights of Arles, which the bishops of Vienne sought to dispute.
HE RECOMMENDED A SUCCESSOR TO HIS SEE
Immediately before his death, he exhorted the people of Arles not to elect anyone else as his successor than St Caesarius, who would be the most worthy.
