Life
He suffered for Christ as a young man. Gregory of Neocaesarea saw him in a vision bravely enduring torments for Christ until he was slain. He also saw his soul, which, when it was separated from the body, hastened joyfully toward heaven. The holy Troadius suffered and was glorified in the third century.
