Saints celebrated on the 2nd of July
Saint Adeodatus, a priest, died under the fourth consulship of Probus the Younger at the age of 85, according to a tomb inscription at the Church of Saint Vincent in Gallianum near Canturio (a village in the Milan region, near Como). Saint Adeodatus is venerated on July 2, which is also the day of his translation. From the above piece of information, which is the only one we have, it is not possible to determine at what time he lived.
