Life
Saint Diocletian is commemorated on 13 October (new style, the Greek calendar), but he is unknown to the usual synaxaria. His name appears in the Lavra codex D 23 together with Saint Florentius, who is commemorated on the same day, and the two share a common service.
The Greek source adds that the saint's existence, his biographical data and the day of his feast have not been verified. Nothing certain can be said about his life or death, and the name should not be confused with that of the persecuting emperor.
