Elias of Tyre

Holy Martyr Elias of Tyre is among the one hundred and fifty-⁠one martyrs, among them the Egyptian bishops Peleus and Nilus, the priest Zeno and Patermuthius, who suffered in the time of the emperor Maximian Galerius (305 to 311). Most of them were Egyptians, but there were also Palestinians among them.

The governor of Palestine, Firmilian, seized one hundred and fifty-⁠six Christians. The holy martyrs had their eyes put out, the sinews of their feet cut, and were subjected to all kinds of other torments. One hundred of them were beheaded, and the rest were burned. The page says nothing particular about Elias.

The Church commemorates these martyrs on 30 September, in the new style.
