Biblical scholar

Theodorus (Greek: Θεόδωρος, romanized: Theodōros; fl. c. AD 328–355) was a Christian biblical scholar of the mid-4th century AD. He was bishop of Heraclea in Thrace (also called Perinthus or Heraclea in Europa; modern Marmara Ereğlisi),[1] being appointed some time between 328 and 334; he was an ally of Eusebius against the Athanasians.[2] He should not be confused with Theodore Stratelates (281–319), sometimes called "Theodore of Heraclea," Theodore Stratelates lived in Heraclea Pontica.[3]
