Life

Arnold was apparently of Greek descent and was famed for his charity to the poor. He died around the year 800. The village of Arnold-⁠Villiers (Arnoldsweiler) near Jülich, now in Germany, has taken his name. He is remembered on 8 July in the Western calendar (new style).

No other details have been preserved. He is honoured as a saint of the undivided Church, with no synodal canonization shown in the source.
