This Martyr contested during the reign of Maximian, in the year 290, in Caesarea
of Palestine, and was put to death by command of Firmilian, the Governor
of Palestine. His fellow contestants' names are Valens, Paul, Seleucus,
Porphyrius, Julian, Theodulus, and five others from Egypt: Elias, Jeremias,
Esaias, Samuel, and Daniel. Their martyrdom is recorded in Book VIII,
ch. 11 of Eusebius's Ecclesiastical History, called The Martyrs of
Palestine.
Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone:
Thy Martyrs, O Lord, in their courageous contest for Thee received as the prize
the crowns of incorruption and life from Thee, our immortal God. For since
they possessed Thy strength, they cast down the tyrants and wholly destroyed
the demons' strengthless presumption. O Christ God, by their prayers, save
our souls, since Thou art merciful.
Kontakion in the
Fourth Tone:
When fearful instruments of torture were brought forth, the noble athletes
of the Lord went with gladness and an undaunted spirit to endure them all;
for they set the flesh at nought and did not spare their bodies; now they have
inherited glory lasting for ever. And without ceasing, they all intercede for
us, who laud the great conflicts they underwent.
