found: Catholic encyclopedia, 1913 ed. online:(Flavius Rusticus Helpidius: the name of several Latin writers; under the name of Helpidius, the "former quæstor", we have twenty-four strophes of three hexameters each, on scenes from the Old and New Testaments; under the title of "Rustici Elpidii carmen de Christi beneficiis" a short poem of one hundred and forty hexameters celebrates the miracles of Christ; the deacon Helpidius (died about 533), friend of Ennodius and physician of Theodoric, King of the Ostrogoths, is unquestionably another person)
