Seventy martyrs who suffered at Scythopolis in Palestine.
Life
The 70 Martyrs of Scythopolis (present-day Beit She'an in Palestine) all received their end by the sword. The Greek synaxarion says nothing more about the time or circumstances of their confession; it adds only that one of them, Saint Basil, is also commemorated on 6 July.
They are commemorated together on 28 June, by the church calendar of the Church of Greece.
Commemorated the same day June 28
