4. He was a renowned Illyrian from Savaria in Pannonia, pious and virtuous. For defending Orthodoxy, the Arians publicly abused him and exiled him from the city. Therefore he fled to Milan, in Italy, but he suffered there as well, by the Arian bishop of that city, named Auxentius. He was then forced to retire to the island og Galerian in the Tyrrhenian Sea, which was entirely deserted. He sustained himself by eating the vegetation there. Later, he became the Bishop of Terracina, and excelled in his ecclesiastical duties. He nourished the poor, defended the aggrieved, and righteously pastored the flock entrusted to him.
