Life
Saint Athenodorus the Venerable is commemorated on 29 December (new style, the Greek calendar). The synaxarion says that he was an ascetic, in an unknown place, and that he reposed in peace. A verse says that a word is brought to him as a gift, fitting for a divine man and for one dead.
In the Parisian codex 1578 Athenodorus is mentioned alongside the other venerable fathers Babylas and Benjamin.
