Life

Holy Hierarch Honoratus of Marseille was bishop of Marseille in Gaul toward the end of the 5th century; he reposed around 492. He is considered the author of the Life of Saint Hilary of Arles (Vita S. Hilarii Arelatensis), which others attribute to a cleric named Reverentius or Ravennius, Hilary's successor in the see of Arles.

No other details of his life survive in the sources at hand. He is honored as a saint of the undivided Church.
