1Antoninus encourages the exiled confessor Arcadius to persevere to martyrdom rather than yield to Arianism, and explains by analogies how the one triune God works together while the Son alone took flesh.
Not honoured as a saint or in a church calendar by the Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant traditions. A Catholic bishop under Vandal persecution, in good standing in the church of his time; no tradition's calendar honours him.
