Eustratius

Holy Martyr Eustratius was a soldier and is one of the ten martyrs commemorated on 2 November (new style) together with Atticus: Eudoxius, Agapius, Atticus, Marinus, Oceanus, Eustratius, Carterius, Nicopolitianus, Styrax and Tobias.

All were soldiers in the city of Sebasteia, in the time of Emperor Licinius. In the year 315 they were examined by the governor Auxanius, the duke Marcellus and Mark Agricolaus; they confessed their faith boldly and were harshly tortured in various ways. At last they were thrown into the fire and burned alive, all receiving the crown of martyrdom. About Eustratius no particulars of his own are preserved in the sources consulted.
