Eonus (or Eolnius)

a French saint, was of noble birth, and became bishop of Arles, A.D. 492. He assisted, September 2, 499, at the conference between the Catholic bishops of Burgundy and the Arian prelates at Lyons, in the presence of Gondeband, king of Burgundy, who favored Arianism. About the same time Eonus was involved in the dispute with Avitus of Vienne, concerning the primatial right of their respective churches, which was brought before pope Symmaihus, and finally decided in favor of the see of ATres. Eonus was allied with Ruricius of Limoges, and with Pomerus, abbot of Arles, and has left us his correspondence with those saints. He died August 16, 502, and is commemorated on August 30. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.; Smith, Dict. of Christ. Biog. s.v.
