A miracle having broken his bonds, and opened the doors of the prison, he made his escape, but being taken again by his pursuers, he received the palm of martyrdom by being beheaded."[7]
- A Greek by birth, in 315 he became Bishop of Milan in Italy, where he exerted his influence against the Arians.
