Life
Saint Amphilochius the Martyr was an officer in the Roman army, the commander of a unit, and is commemorated on 27 March (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece). The Greek calendar places him beside Chronides, the secretary (commentariensis), and the family of the senator Philetus: his wife Lydia and their sons Theoprepius and Macedon. The English calendar gives the year 121 for them.
