Heortius, of Themistius (a student)
correspondent of Libanius|Antioch
Otherwise little attested; known chiefly as a correspondent of Libanius, the rhetor of Antioch, in whose surviving letter collection he is the recipient of several letters. The corpus associates him with Themistius (the philosopher and senator of Constantinople), suggesting he moved in the educated, office-seeking circles of the mid-to-late 4th century AD eastern Roman world. Beyond his appearance in this correspondence, no independent biography, firm dates, or securely attested offices are known.
