Baring-Gould’s sources: Greek Menology, Russian Kalendar, and Roman Martyrology. Authority Theophanes in his account of the Council of Nicaea.] Dorotheus, bishop of Tyre, suffered much in the persecution of Diocletian. He was skilled in both Greek and Latin; and if he is the same Dorotheus as the priest of Antioch, mentioned by Eusebius, he was learned also in Hebrew.1 He was present at the Council of Nicsea. When Julian came to the throne he went to Odyssopolis, in Sicily, whither he had retired before, in the persecution of Diocletian. There he suffered much ill-usage and died, at the advanced age of a hundred and seven. It is not probable that he was put to death, for Julian was no persecutor in a direct manner; and the only authentic accounts of martyrdoms in his reign are those of Christian soldiers in the army. But the sea-voyage, poverty, petty annoyances, and perhaps popular tumult, may have precipitated his death, and in martyrologies he is invariably enrolled as a martyr. And, indeed, his may be called a martyrdom though he did not shed his blood for Christ 1 Eusebius says that Constantine made Dorotheus, priest of Antioch, his procurator to the dye-works at Tyre. It is possible that this may have been a different Dorotheus; but it is not unlikely that it is the same one, and that from being master of the dyeing, be was advanced to the bishopric of Tyre.
