P. 109, l. 3 f. Felix was bishop of Nantes from 549 to 583. He was the builder of a large church and undertook embankment improvements on the Loire in Nantes. His relations with Gregory appear to have been usually bad. Cf. pp. 76, 154-5. For poems addressed to Felix by Fortunatus see Carmina, III, 4-10; V, 7 (edition by Leo in Mon. Germ. Hist.).
