Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

was a Christian lady, residing probably at Antioch, to whom Chrysostom addressed several letters during his exile, expressing the most affectionate solicitude for her health, which was very feeble, and for the troubles brought upon her by her fidelity to his cause. These letters are sometimes addressed to Chalcidia separately, sometimes conjointly with her friend Asyncritia.
