What are you talking about? St. Matthias' life is known as well as St. Batolomeo's
According to Nicephorus (Historia eccl., 2, 40), Matthias first preached the Gospel in Judaea, then in Aethiopia (made out to be a synonym for the region of Colchis, now in modern-day Georgia) and was crucified in Colchis. A marker placed in the ruins of the Roman fortress at Gonio (Apsaros) in the modern Georgian region of Adjara claims that Matthias is buried at that site. I'm speaking of Scripture, not something written in the 9th century; a time when pious fiction was in vogue.
