Nepotianus

Saint Nepotianus, hierarch, was the fifth bishop of Clermont in Auvergne, in the fourth century. The few data about him come from Gregory of Tours. He had the reputation of a holy man and converted Arthemius of Clermont, who succeeded him in the see; Arthemius was a native of Trier, a city with which Nepotianus corresponded often. He is said to have died in the year 385. He is recognized as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church and is commemorated on 22 October.
