Holy Martyr Sophronius died by the sword together with Saint Sylvester. They are commemorated on 1 March (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, in a company that includes Antonius, Marcellus, Agapius, Nikephoros, Charisius and Nestorianus.

A verse says that Sylvester did not endure to worship error and bore the cutting together with Sophronius. No other details of his life have survived in the source consulted.
