Life
He was distinguished by great meekness. In the time of Decius he was brought to trial and cruelly tortured for Christ. Before his death he saw in a vision a sacrificial lamb, which he interpreted as a sign of his own imminent sacrifice. He was tortured by the eparch Publius and at last was crucified in Perge in the year 250.
