Holy Martyr Eutychius is commemorated on 19 December (new style, the Greek calendar) together with Saint Thessalonica, two hundred men and seventy women. The synaxarion says that all received martyrdom by the sword. A verse says that the sword killed the ten twenties of men and the seven tens of women.
Their names, place and time are not preserved. The title of apostle in the record is not supported by the synaxarion, which shows him as a martyr.
