- Symphronius was a Roman slave who brought about the conversion of the tribune Olympius, the latter's wife Exuperia and their son Theodulus.
- He was renowned for the miracles he worked on these journeys. Finally he settled at the monastery of Padolirone near Padua in Italy.
- "Modern Roman Martyrology, Benedictine Martyrologies. Authority: – A life written not long after his death by a monk of Padolira. The early part of his life was learned from letters of Arsenius, Patriarch of Jerusalem. He was canonized by Benedict VIII; and at the elevation of his body, Leo IX sent a brief to the Bishop of Mantua, approving veneration to the saint."[20]
