There he died a martyr, together with many other Christians. Little is known of his life. The Acta Sanctorum of the Bollandists preserve the interrogations that the prefect Turcius conducted. His commemoration is kept on 3 July in the Western calendar. He is a saint of the undivided Church, honoured in the West, without synodal canonization.
