Who
British-born abbot of Lérins and, from about 460, bishop of Riez in Provence, an ascetic who was also the chief theologian of southern Gaul. His On Grace argued for the will's part in salvation against strict Augustinians and was later set aside at Orange in 529; On the Holy Spirit, letters and sermons (some transmitted in the Eusebius Gallicanus collection) survive. The Catena Aurea cites him as "Faustus".
