Dorotheus

Saint Dorotheus is commemorated in the Greek calendar on 12 October (new style), among the martyrs Anthia, Diodorus, Domnina and Dorotheus.

The synaxarion says of Saint Domnina that she suffered in the time of Diocletian: seized by the prefect Lysias, she was fiercely threatened but stood firm; her bones and joints were broken and she died confessing Christ. Saint Anthia died in a bronze ox heated in the fire; Andromachus and Diodorus were burned. For Dorotheus the sources consulted contain no particulars of his own: neither place nor manner of death.
