During the reign of Emperor Probus and while Atticus was governing Antioch, Saints Trophimus and Sabbatius, worshippers of the true God, came to Antioch and saw idolatry. They prayed to God for the salvation of the people. They were seized and brought before the judge Atticus, who tried to force them to offer sacrifices to the idols. Saint Trophimus, confessing his faith, was subjected to cruel tortures but did not renounce Christ. He was beaten, tormented, and attempts were made to force him to offer sacrifices, but he remained steadfast.
Saint Sabbatius was also captured and subjected to tortures, from which he died. Saint Trophimus, after much suffering, was sent to Phrygia to the torturer Dionysius, where he continued to confess his faith despite the cruel tortures. He was subjected to tortures, including beatings and being doused with vinegar and mustard, but remained resolute.
In Sinada, where Saint Trophimus was held, there was a pious Christian named Dorimedont, who cared for him in prison. When Dorimedont refused to participate in a pagan festival, he was also seized and subjected to tortures. He steadfastly confessed his faith despite threats and tortures.
Saints Trophimus and Dorimedont, after much suffering, were put to death by the sword. They united with the blessed Sabbatius in eternal life, glorifying the Holy Trinity. Amen.
