Horontianus
correspondent of Ambrose of Milan (probably a cleric)|Milan
Horontianus (also spelled Orontianus/Horontian) is known only as one of the correspondents of Ambrose, bishop of Milan (c. 339-397). Several of Ambrose's surviving letters are addressed to him, treating exegetical and doctrinal questions, which suggests he was a cleric or an educated Christian in Ambrose's circle who sought the bishop's instruction on points of Scripture and theology. Beyond these letters he is otherwise unattested, and no firm details of his career, dates, or precise station can be established; he is best understood as a member of the late-fourth-century Milanese Christian community active in Ambrose's lifetime.
