Life
Holy Martyr Aetherius is commemorated on 12 December (new style, the Greek calendar). His commemoration appears in the Parisian codex 1611. He suffered in the time of Maximian (286 to 305) because he refused to deny Christ and to sacrifice to idols.
They put red-hot irons into his ears so that the pupils of his eyes burst out. Then they bound him to a wheel and put a bridle in his mouth. After burning him with lighted candles, they finally beheaded him.
