Life

Claudianus and Didymus were martyrs of Alexandria, saints of the undivided Church.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411 commemorates them on 5 April, by the Julian calendar (old style), at Alexandria. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology names a Claudianus at Nicomedia and Didymus, a presbyter, at Alexandria, and the Synaxarion of Constantinople remembers a martyr Claudianus. No account of their martyrdom survives.
