Life
Adrian was a martyr of Caesarea in Palestine, one of the last to suffer in the great persecution there, about the year 309. He is commemorated on February 3, together with the Martyr Eubulus, his companion.
By the accounts he was seized and brought before the governor Firmilianus, and having confessed Christ he was condemned. He was put to death by the sword, and so entered into eternal life among the martyrs of the persecution recorded at Caesarea.
