Claudian

Holy Martyr Claudian suffered in the time of Decius (249 to 251) together with Papias and Diodorus. The Greek synaxarion commemorates all three on 25 October (new style, the Greek calendar).

He came from Attalia in Pamphylia and kept livestock. Because he worshipped the one true God he was arrested by the governor of Pamphylia, Publius, and, since he would not change his mind, was finally put to the sword.
