Life
Abadir and his sister Iraja were, according to legend, children of the sister of Basilides, called “the father of kings”. Arrested at Alexandria, they were taken to Antinoe in Upper Egypt and beheaded with the physician and priest Cluthus and 3,685 others. They are venerated in the Coptic Church and commemorated on 25 September. One historian of the saints regards the story as spurious. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).
