Theophilos the Indian, also known as Theophilus Indus[1] (Greek: Θεόφιλος) (died 364), also called "the Ethiopian", was an Aetian or Heteroousian[2] bishop who fell alternately in and out of favor with the court of the Roman emperor Constantius II.
[7] Theophilos came to the court of Constantine I as a young man and was ordained a deacon under the Arian bishop Eusebius of Nicomedia.
Famed for his ability as a healer, Theophilus was later recalled to court to heal Constantius' wife, the empress Eusebia, which he is reputed to have done successfully.
[12] One of the churches which Theophilus had founded in Arabia during the 4th century was built at Zafar, Yemen and likely destroyed in 523 by the King of Himyar Dhu Nuwas, who had shifted the state religion from Christianity to Judaism.
Later in 525, Theophilus' church was restored by the Christian King Kaleb of Axum following his successful invasion on Himyar.
