Life

Germanus of Alexandria is venerated as a martyr of Alexandria. The Hieronymian Martyrology commemorates him on 29 April as a priest, together with the deacon Prosdocus, and the martyrology attributed to Notker the Stammerer has him on the same day. The sources are very brief and preserve no life of him. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).

Commemorated the same day April 29
