Holy Martyrs
Gillus and Six Companions
Martyrs of Ancyra, commemorated in the Syriac Martyrology of 411; the first name may be Gelasius.
Life
Gillus and Six Companions were martyrs of Ancyra, the city of Galatia in Asia Minor, saints of the undivided Church.
The Syriac Martyrology of 411 commemorates them on 30 August, by the Julian calendar (old style): the first, whose name modern editors read as Gaianus, and six others. Another proposed reading of his name is Gelasius. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology names them at Ancyra with names such as Gaianus, Julian, Rufinus and Vincent. No account of their martyrdom survives.
