Dometius of Byzantium (Greek: Δομέτιος; died 284) was bishop of Byzantium from about 272 to about 284.[1]
He was a brother of the Roman emperor Probus. He converted to Early Christianity, and fled Rome to Byzantium with his two sons, Probus and Metrophanes to escape persecution.[2]
He was baptised by bishop Titus of Byzantium, whom he succeeded.[3] and entered the clergy. After the death of Titus in 272 he became bishop.[2]
His sons later became bishops of the same city:[2] Probus (served 293–306) and Metrophanes (served 306–314).
