Life

Fronto and Three Companions were martyrs of Thessalonica, saints of the undivided Church.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411, the oldest martyr calendar of the East, commemorates them on 14 March, by the Julian calendar (old style): at Thessalonica, Fronto, martyr, and three others. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology, which draws on the same early source, lists four names: Dionysius, Alexander, Euphrasius and Fronto. No account of their martyrdom survives.
