Life

Holy Venerable Martyr Eucrates is commemorated on 21 October (new style, the Greek calendar). The synaxarion says of him only that he received martyrdom by the sword; his name is also written Eucratus.

The Greek source adds a caution: he may be the same as Saint Socrates, commemorated on the same day, with the name having become Eucrates through a copyist's error. No further details are preserved.
