Life
Holy Martyr Paktovius of Sebaste is commemorated on 16 November together with the martyrs Atticus, Agapius, Eudoxius, Cateris, Istucarius and Nictopolion, who suffered at Sebaste in the time of the emperor Licinius (according to other sources, of Decius).
The soldiers Eudoxius, Atticus and Cateris were subjected to various torments by the duke Marcellus and the archon Auxanus for preaching Christianity. They were then imprisoned, scourged with ox-hide thongs and had their teeth knocked out. At the same time the Christians Istucarius, Paktovius and Nictopolion were seized, beaten with rods and put to other tortures, and finally burned together with the soldiers named above.
Saint Paktovius is commemorated on 16 November, in the new style.
