Saint Phocas, sometimes called Phocas the Gardener (Greek: Φωκᾶς), is venerated as a martyr by the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Churches. His life and legend may have been a fusion of three men with the same name: a Phocas of Antioch, a Phocas the Gardener and Phocas, Bishop of Sinope.Phocas of Sinope – The Oxford Dictionary of Saints – HighBeam Research
