title: Helenus of Tarsus
text: Helenus of Tarsus was a bishop of Tarsus and a metropolitan in the 3rd century. He is known for being involved in the controversy surrounding rebaptism – according to Dionysius the Great of Alexandria, Helenus became involved in the dispute between Cyprian and Pope Stephen I in 256, siding with Cyprian. Stephen renounced communion with Helenus and others for insisting on rebaptising those previously baptised by heretics. Dionysius placed Helenus among the "most distinguished bishops of the East"
