Life

Elias, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Samuel and Daniel were five Egyptians who suffered at Caesarea in Palestine in 309, in the time of Saint Pamphilus.

The persecution at Caesarea was recorded by Eusebius, bishop of the city, who was a witness to many of the events related in his work On the Martyrs of Palestine. We have no other certain details of the lives or deaths of the five.
