Life
Saint Demetrian, Hieromartyr, was bishop of Antioch from the year 253 until 256, or according to others from 256 until 262. He was carried off captive to Persia in 256, where he died. The Church commemorates him on 10 November (new style, the Greek calendar).
His successor on the throne of Antioch, Domnus (270 to 273), was his son. The Greek source gives 262 as the year of his end, but does not say how he died in captivity.
