(ABOUT A.D. 320.)
[All the Latin Martyrologies, from the mention in which all that is
known of him is derived.]
At Antioch, after many sufferings endured for the name of Christ,
Phocas triumphed over the Old Serpent, a victory which is testified,
to this day, by a miracle. For whoever is bitten by a serpent, having
touched, full of faith, the door of the basilica of the martyr, is
immediately cured, the poison at once losing its power; so says the
Roman Martyrology.
