Life
Holy Martyr Coremon (also called Coramon) was an eparch of Rome in the time of the emperor Hadrian (117 to 138). He was present at the martyrdom of Saint Eleutherius, commemorated on the same day, and from the saint's miracles he came to believe in Christ. He confessed Him and was then beheaded. He is commemorated on 15 December (new style, the Greek calendar).
A verse says that Coremon had no satiety of the contest of martyrdom until his neck was cut with the sword.
