EPOEUCTUS, BISHOP OF SAXISMIRNIUM
Epoeuctus was a disciple of the apostle Peter and was appointed bishop of Saxismirnium by him, according to Tamayus' Spanish Martyrology*.
The Bollandists*, however, comment that they know nothing of his life, nor even know when and by whom he was counted among the saints. (IV. 2)
