Life
Holy Martyr Germanus suffered at Caesarea with Zebinas, Nicephorus and Antoninus, in the time of Emperor Maximian (286-305). He is commemorated on 20 October (new style).
According to the synaxarion, Antoninus was an old man and the other three were young. Seized for being Christians by a certain Mazus, at Caesarea, they were beheaded. Their memory is repeated on 12 November, beside Saint Manatho (called, in some sources, by mistake Maratho).
