Life
Saint Andromachus is commemorated in the Greek synaxarion on 12 October (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece), together with Saint Diodorus. The synaxarion keeps only a brief note about them: both received martyrdom by fire.
The place and time of their witness are not known, and the names carry no further sure information. A verse of the synaxarion calls on Andromachus to fight the enemies of the Lord and to die in the fire beside Diodorus.
