(259-274) Martyr, died Palestrina, Italy. A youth of fifteen, he was thrown to the wild beasts in the arena, but was miraculously preserved; this miracle converted many; the judge therefore ordered the saint to be beheaded. Two churches in Palestrina are dedicated to him; his heroic martyrdom was an example to many early saints and martyrs. Invoked against colic. Relics at Palestrina and Besancon. Feast, Roman Calendar, August 18,
