当戴克里先开始迫害基督徒的时候，尼科美底亚的主教德奥般普特成为首批蒙难的基督殉道者。当他被带到皇帝面前时，皇帝威胁他说，如果他不否认基督信仰就将其判处死刑。这位勇敢的主教面对威胁，回答皇帝说：“经上说：那杀身体不能杀灵魂的，不要怕他们（玛特泰福音／太／玛10：28），皇帝啊，对于我的身体，你拥有生杀大权，任你处置好了。”德奥般普特遭到了毒打，并忍受了饥饿和各种类型的刑罚。最后，皇帝叫来一个名叫德奥纳的巫师，想通过巫术来战胜这位虔诚的人。德奥纳将一剂剧毒丸药溶解在水中，让德奥般普特喝。这位主教在杯子上划了十字圣号，然后饮了下去。德奥纳看到他炮制的毒药对德奥般普特毫无作用，当场归信，转身向皇帝高呼道：“陛下，我也是基督徒了，我也俯伏叩拜于那位被钉十字架者！”后来，德奥般普特和德奥纳都被判处死刑，时为公元298年。德奥般普特被斩首，而德奥纳则被活埋。他们壮烈牺牲，成为基督国度的成员。
