Romæ, via Salária véteri, in cœmetério Basíllæ, natális sanctórum Mártyrum Proti et Hyacínthi fratrum, eunuchórum beátæ Eugéniæ. Hi, sub Galliéno Imperatóre, deprehénsi quod essent Christiáni, sacrificáre cogúntur; sed non consentiéntes, primo duríssime verberáti sunt, ac tandem páriter decolláti. At Rome, on the old Salarian Way in the cemetery of Basilla, the birthday of the holy martyrs Protus and Hyacinth, brothers, and eunuchs in the service of blessed Eugenia. They were arrested in the time of Emperor Gallienus on the charge of being Christians, and urged to offer sacrifice to the gods. Because they refused, they were most severely scourged and finally beheaded.

Afterwards, under Constantine the Great, he courageously strove for the Catholic faith against the Arians, and at length, adorned with many crowns, rested in peace.
