Atticus

Holy Martyr Atticus suffered together with Sisinius and was put to death by the sword. The Greek synaxarion says that both ran like two athletes and sped lightly through the stadium of the sword, that is, they received the crown of martyrdom by beheading. It is thought that they may have been seized together with Saint Hadrian at Nicomedia, whose sufferings are commemorated on the same day.

The sources give no other details about his life. He is commemorated on 26 August (new style).
