Life
Holy Martyrs Diomedes and Didymus, together with Diodorus, were from Laodicea in Syria. They were seized by the local ruler and, because they boldly confessed that they were Christians, they were scourged to death. The calendar of the Church of Greece (new style) commemorates them on 11 September, together with Geminianus and the aged Ia, among a group of martyrs. No other details of their lives survive.
