Florentius of Sardis was a 5th-century bishop of Sardis and theologian.
He was also an attendee to the Council of Chalcedon[1] fl 451.[2] where he noted himself by giving impromptu translations of Latin text for his Greek speaking colleagues.[3] and at one heated point in the council, he called for an adjournment.[4] He was also one of 22 delegates who formed a subcommittee of the council, to examine and formulate the statement for the ecumenical council.[5] In the list of bishops at the council, he appeared in the eleventh position out of 305 bishops, between Peter of Corinth and Eunomius of Nicomedia.[6]
He was the recipient of a letter from Theodoret,[7] who urged Florentius to oppose heresy and support those who are being persecuted.
