Life
He was a fuller of cloth and a zealous Christian. During Diocletian's persecution of Christians, this man of God presented himself voluntarily before the judge and torturer in the Dalmatian city of Solin and confessed his faith in Christ. He was inhumanly tortured and slain. His body was cast into the sea, but was afterward recovered and honorably buried.
