Life

Holy Martyr Julian is known only by a name. The time and place of his death are unknown. His commemoration and a couplet in his honour stand in the Byzantine synaxaria of the M family, in H. Delehaye's classification (for example in a manuscript of 1295), where it is said that he was killed by a blow of a club to the head. From the verse synaxaria the information was carried into the printed Greek Menaion (Venice, 1592) and into the Synaxaristes of Saint Nikodemos the Hagiorite.

He is commemorated on 15 September, according to the Greek calendar. He is not included in the present calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.
