He was persecuted by Maximian but escaped and went to Nikaia where he also confessed his faith. Here, however, his words and his actions made an impression on his guards and he converted many people to the faith. The outcome was for him to be released once again and sent him to Midia.
In Midia, he found a mount near the area of Sigrianis where he met a holy person called Euvioto. They spent the rest of their days living an ascetical hermit life and reposed in peace. He is commemorated by the church [[December 30]].
