Life
Plato of Ancyra was a martyr at Ancyra in Galatia, in Asia Minor, remembered on 22 July.
The Roman Martyrology says that, in the time of the lieutenant-governor Agrippinus, he was scourged, lacerated with iron hooks and subjected to other cruel torments, and finally, being beheaded, he gave his unconquered soul to God. The miracles he worked in assisting captives are attested in the Acts of the Second Council of Nicaea. We have no other data on his life.
He is a saint of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is scant.
