According to Alban Butler, by 177, a large number of the Christians in the area of Vienne and Lyons were Greeks from Asia. There was violent persecution against them while Photin [aka Pothin(us)] was bishop of Lyon(s).
Irenaeus, the second bishop of Lyon, states that Pothin(us) was born around the year 87, and died at the age of ninety, in about 177 AD and according to his account, Pothinus was martyred along with Alexander, Attalus, Espagathus, Maturus, and Sanctius, during persecutions by Marcus Aurelius. Pothin(us) and several companions were seized by a mob and taken to the magistrate; Pothinus is believed to have died from the abuse he suffered† in prison, while the others were killed by wild beasts in the local amphitheatre.
The similarity of the name Pothinus and the OF verb 'foutre' lead to the syncretic amalgamation of Pothinus and Priapus under the assimilated name 'Saint Foutin'. (Wikipedia) Almost no one else quotes Butler these days.

† Butler uses the term in the religious sense, as it was necessary for martyrs to suffer in order to achieve sainthood - Pothin's age is also likely to have been exaggerated.
