Martyr Bithonius is one of four martyrs — Elpidiphoros, Dius, Bithonius, and Gallicus — who suffered for confessing faith in Christ. No source specifies the century or place of their martyrdom.
According to tradition, Elpidiphoros was beheaded, Dius stoned, Bithonius drowned in the sea, and Gallicus thrown to wild beasts.
Their feast is kept on April 3/16.
HONEST CAVEAT: no fuller vita or further details about Bithonius beyond this brief list of executions could be found in the available authoritative sources — the biography is deliberately kept short rather than padded with invented detail.
