Life

Protus was a martyr, commemorated on 11 September together with Hyacinth. Tradition makes them brothers and servants of Saint Eugenia; they suffered under the emperor Valerian, about 257, and were buried in the cemetery of Basilla on the Via Salaria at Rome. The earliest record of their feast dates from the year 354. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).
