Saint Philastrius (also Philaster or Filaster) Bishop of Brescia was one of the bishops present at a synod held in Aquileia in 381. St. Augustine met him at Milan about 383 or perhaps a little later (St. Augustine Ep. ccxxii). He composed a catalogue of heresies (Diversarum Hereseon Liber) about 384. He died before 397. Among the writings of St. Gaudentius was a sermon purporting to be preached on the fourteenth anniversary of St. Philastrius’s death.
