A martyr honoured at Philippi, commemorated in the Greek synaxarion.
Life
Holy Martyr Kamasis is one of the four martyrs of Niculitel in Dobruja (today Tulcea county, Romania), together with Attalus, Zoticus and Philip.
According to some researchers, they suffered in the time of Diocletian (284-305). Others say they suffered between 319 and 324, in the time of Licinius. Most probably, the Greek source says, they suffered north of the Danube, where the Goths lived, to whom Saint Sabbas of Buzau preached the Gospel, in the persecution launched by King Athanaric in the years 370-372.
Their relics were discovered in 1971 in the crypt of a basilica at Niculitel, and today they are at the Cocos Monastery in Tulcea county. They are commemorated on 4 June, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
