Epictitus

Saint Epictitus (also called Epitacius) is, according to legend, an early bishop and martyr in Galicia, regarded as the first bishop of the city of Tui.

He is said to have suffered martyrdom together with Basil, who is said to have succeeded Peter of Rates as bishop of Braga, and with a certain Aptonus. The events are placed in the first century, but it is doubtful that Epictitus was a historical person, since church organization at Tui can be shown only in late antiquity. He is venerated as a saint and commemorated on 23 May, by the Western calendar.
