Eutropius, Cleonicus and Basiliscus

The Holy Martyrs Eutropius, Cleonicus and Basiliscus were soldiers, relatives of Saint Theodore Tiron, and suffered at Amasea in Pontus, in the time of Maximian's persecution, around the year 308. They confessed Christ before the governor and were tortured. Eutropius and Cleonicus were crucified, and Basiliscus was condemned to beheading at Comana, and his body was thrown into the river.

The faithful found their relics and honoured them. The sources at hand give no further details of their torments. They are commemorated on 3 March (new style).
