Martyred bishop of Lorch. He was born at Cilli, modem Steiermark, in Styria, Austria, and disposed of his wealth to make a pilgrimage to Rome. Pope Sixtus II sent him to Lorch, near Passau, where he served two decades as a missionary bishop. He was then beheaded by command of the Roman Prefect Numerian at the gate of Cilli for refusing to sacrifice to the gods.

Location of birth: He was born in Celeia, modem Celje, in Slovenia (not Cilli, that was the German name for the town in late middle ages, and not in Styria, Austria, but Lower-Styria, Slovenia)
