Codrus

Holy Martyr Codrus (also called Quadratus) died a martyr's death, dragged along the ground by wild horses.

The verse of the synaxarion says that he, having reached the end of the race, raises his hands and receives the crown. No other details of his life, or of the place or time of his confession, are preserved. He is commemorated on 22 May, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
