Severus Endelechius

Severus Sanctus Endelechius or Endelechus, also known as Severus rhetor, was a Christian speaker and poet of Roman Late Antiquity, who lived in the fourth century AD and probably came from Gaul. He was a friend of Saint Paul of Nola, who dedicated to him his Pangyrik of Theodosius.

Endelechius wrote, among other things, the poem De mortibus boum, in which he describes an outbreak of rinderpest, against which a Christian shepherd protects his cattle by the cross-mark.
