Claphius (or Elaphius)

Claphius (or Elaphius)

A letter exists addressed to him about A.D. 477, from Sidonius Apollinaris, bishop of Clermont, in the 5th century. Sidonius promises to go, to Rouergue to dedicate a church which Claphius had built, and expresses a great desire to see him some day bishop of it, when God should have allayed the persecution of the Visigoths.
