Life
Holy Martyr Atticus of Sebaste suffered together with Agapius, Eudoxius, Catherius, Istucarius, Pactovius, Nictopolion and others, in the time of Emperor Licinius, or, according to other sources, in the reign of Emperor Decius. They are commemorated on 16 November.
The soldiers Eudoxius, Atticus and Catherius endured various torments for preaching Christianity, by order of the duke Marcellus and the archon Auxanus. Then they were shut in prison, where they were beaten with whips of ox sinew and had their teeth knocked out. At the same time the Christians Istucarius, Pactovius and Nictopolion were seized, who were beaten with rods and tormented in other ways, and then burned together with the soldiers mentioned.
