Ordained at Caesarea, Pamphilus became the head of a catechetical school there  & soon acquired a reputation for learning, biblical study & the size and brilliance of his library  One of the students of this school was the historian Eusebius of Caesarea who held him in such high regard that he adopted the name Eusebius of Pamphilus.

Arrested in 308 A.D. for being a Christian by Urban, the governor of Palestine, Pamphilus spent 2 years in prison before being beheaded as part of the Roman persecution of the faith. A number of others died in connection with his martyrdom, including a student named Porphyrius and a Cappadocian, Seleucus , who was accused of applauding Porphyrius aplomb in enduring torture.
