Life
Holy Martyr Dometius is commemorated on 16 October (new style) in the synaxis of the martyrs Leontius, Dometius, Terentius and Domninus, who ended their lives in fire. The Greek synaxarion preserves no details of their lives, only the fact that the four received the crown of martyrdom by fire.
The Church honours them together as confessors of the early centuries, without other data about the place and time of their suffering.
