Taius (Taio, Tago, Tajo, Tajón, Tayon) (c. 600—c. 683) was a theologian and bishop of Zaragoza during the Visigothic period, from 651 to 664, succeeding his teacher Saint Braulius. His surname was Samuel (Samuhel). Taius, like Braulius and Bishop Ildefonsus, was also a pupil of Saint Isidore of Seville.
== Biography == Little is known about his background, but in a letter to Bishop Quiricus of Barcelona, to whom he dedicated his principal work, Taius refers to himself as Samuel, a name some scholars interpreted as indicative of some Jewish ancestry, although it could also reflect the Visigothic custom of adopting Old Testament cognomina. Taius was ordained as a priest in 632, and later served as an abbot in the Real Monasterio de Santa Engracia where he also educated.
