To: Antoninus

St. Zoticus was of noble birth and wealthy. He gave up his position and wealth, was ordained to the priesthood and moved to Constantinople. Emperor Constantine supported his work among the poor, infirm and orphans. He organized and administered a large home for their care. After Constantine the Great's repose, his son, Constantius, was jealous of the wealth that his father had given to the poor by Zoticus' hand. Constantius tied St. Zoticus behind a wild ass which was driven through the streets until the aged Saint died of his wounds.

And thus would some zot us.
