Faustus of Mileve
Faustus of Mileve was a Manichaean bishop of the fourth century. He is now remembered for his encounter with Augustine of Hippo, in Carthage around 383. He was from Milevis, Numidia (modern Algeria). From a poor, pagan background, he had become a highly reputed teacher, preacher and debater. In 386, Faustus was exiled with the rest of the Manichaeans, but this decree was revoked in January 387 by Theodosius I and Arcadius. Faustus died before 400, since Augustine of Hippo's treatise, "Contra Faustum", speaks of him in the past tense.
