Life

Eusebius, Charalampus and 268 Companions were martyrs of Nicomedia in Bithynia, saints of the undivided Church. The first two were presbyters.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411, the oldest martyr calendar of the East, commemorates them on 28 April, by the Julian calendar (old style): Eusebius, presbyter, Charalampus, presbyter, and 268 other martyrs. The Synaxarion of Constantinople, on 30 May, likewise names Eusebius and Charalampus together with the multitude of saints burned at Nicomedia. The names of the others and the circumstances of their suffering have not survived.
