Holy Martyr Alypius was put to death by having his head crushed with a great stone.
The verse of the synaxarion says that he, who honoured the Stone at the head of the corner, had his head crushed by a stone. In one calendar he is commemorated on 27 May together with the martyrs Ranulf and Eubiotus. No other details of his life, or of the place or time of his confession, are preserved. His commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
