Patheus is known only from the Martyrology of St. Jerome, which records him on January 8 with no further details. He is presumed to be a martyr.
ON ST. PATHEUS THE MARTYR.
Commentary
Patheus, Martyr (St.)
The Martyrology of St. Jerome: "And in another place, Patheus." We suppose him to be a martyr, since there is no reason to think otherwise, as is frequently the case in the same Martyrology.

Support the Translation
The Acta Sanctorum has never been available in English. This site is translating all of it: January through July are done, August is underway, and the calendar runs to November 10, where the Bollandists stopped in 1940. The scholarship pipeline is built; what remains is a compute bill. Contributions go directly to translating more of the calendar.
The Acta was a funded enterprise for three centuries; the translation runs the same way. Everything here is free and stays free whether you give or not. Wroot Press is a small independent press — an imprint of Wroot Labs LLC, not a charity. Contributions aren't tax-deductible; they buy compute.
