The life of Timothy of the Seventy
From then on he was Paul's disciple, and afterward his companion on the roads, through Phrygia and Galatia, to Troas and Philippi and Berea, to Athens and Thessalonica and Corinth. Paul called him his own son in the faith. When Paul was held prisoner at Rome, Timothy came to him and was imprisoned himself.
Paul set him over the church at Ephesus, and he held it fifteen years. After Paul was put to death he learned from John the Evangelist, and when Domitian sent John away to Patmos, Timothy remained at Ephesus alone. At a feast the pagans kept, when the idols were carried through the streets with singing, he went out to stop the procession and preach to them. They fell upon him, beat him, dragged him along the ground, and stoned him. His relics were taken afterward to Constantinople and laid in the church of the Holy Apostles, near Andrew and Luke.
