Life

Hierax, Philip and the Ten Youths were martyrs of Alexandria, saints of the undivided Church.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411 commemorates them on 15 July, by the Julian calendar (old style): Hierax, Philip and ten children, martyrs at Alexandria. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology, of the same origin, names Philip, Zeno and ten children. No account of their martyrdom survives.
