Who they were
In the same place [Antinoë in Egypt], the suffering of Ss. Arian, governor, Theoticus and three others. The judge put them to death by drowning them in the sea; their bodies were brought to the shore by dolphins.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: he has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Dominican Martyrology (1955) remembers him on 8 March.
