Amianus

Holy Martyr Amianus suffered at Antioch, according to the calendar, and is commemorated on 4 September (new style) in the list "Amianus and Babylas the teacher of Antioch".

A Greek synaxarion site keeps, however, a different story for Babylas the teacher: he taught the faith of Christ to the young at Nicomedia, and when Emperor Maximian came to the city he was denounced, seized with eighty-⁠four of his pupils and, after hard torments, beheaded together with them. It is not said, though, whether Amianus belonged to that group. The sources consulted contain no other details of his life or death.
