According to his Coptic life, Bishop Agrippin preached the word of God and taught the faith to the people. He kept his flock with all his might, teaching them and praying for them. He did not seek to own silver or gold, except to satisfy the most basic needs. 12 years after ascending the throne of St. Mark, he rested in peace.
