Life
Holy Martyr Iacchus came from Triglia and received martyrdom by the sword. The Church commemorates him on 17 December (new style, the Greek calendar).
A verse bids Iacchus be strong and, cut down, be written among those who were cut down and be crowned. No further details of his life are preserved.
