Life

Eutyches, Genesius, Sabinus and Eutyches were martyrs of Perinthus, a city of Thrace later called Heraclea, saints of the undivided Church. The first of them, Eutyches, was a bishop.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411 commemorates them on 29 September, by the Julian calendar (old style): Eutyches, bishop, Genesius, Sabinus and a second Eutyches. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology names an Eutyches at Heraclea in Thrace. No other account of them survives.
