Life

Adelphus and Gaius were martyrs of Nisibis, a city of Mesopotamia, saints of the undivided Church.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411 commemorates them on 30 July, by the Julian calendar (old style). Their commemoration belongs to a small addition at the month of July, made, in the view of the editor Nau, by a Syrian scholar, who also entered there Saint James of Nisibis. No other account of them survives.
