Life

Saint Apollonius is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 4 July (new style), together with a Lucia, in the list "Lucia and Apollonius".

On the same day the calendar remembers Saints Cyprilla, Aroa and Lucia of Cyrene, who served Saint Theodore, bishop of Cyrene, imprisoned for his faith: after his death Cyprilla was hung on a wooden frame and her flesh torn, and later the governor Dignianus put Lucia and Aroa to death. The sources consulted do not say whether Apollonius belonged to this circle and preserve no other details about him.
