Regarding the remainder of his life, little is known, and the accounts handed down are contradictory, but he appears to have spent the most of it in retirement at his estate near Porto . He died in 365 , and (on what grounds it is impossible to determine) was enrolled amongst the number of Martyr s, his day being July 22 . In the reign of Gregory XIII , the claim of Felix to rank among the popes was discussed, and in order to discover whether any miraculous help was to be found to aid in the decision of the question, his Sarcophagus was opened. It was said the words "Pope and Martyr" were found inscribed on his body, but this Supernatural testimony is in contradiction to that of the earlier authorities of the Church .
