Life

Saint Cyriacus I was bishop of Byzantium, successor of Philadelphus, and governed the Church there for thirteen years (217-230), by one source, and by another sixteen years, between 214 and 230, in the time of Dorotheus of Tyre. In some catalogues he appears under the name Cyrillianus. He died in 230. The Orthodox Church honors his memory on 27 October.
