In 374, Bishop Justus assisted at regional Synod at Valencia. In 382, he attended the Synod of Aquileia, which rejected Arianism and condemned Palladius and Secondien. After an accident which occured in the city of Aquileia and resulted with the death of an insane individual, Bishop Justin resigned from his See and retired to his house at Tournon. One night he traveled to Arles, and then on to Marseilles where he planned to embark for Alexandria and to live an ascetical life as a hermit. There he joined the community of monks in the desert of Scetes. Justus died at a monastery of Scetes in 389 AD. His feast day is on September 2.
