Life

Leontius, Cyriacus, Cendeus, Vitus, Florus and Felix were martyrs of Nicomedia in Bithynia, saints of the undivided Church.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411, the oldest martyr calendar of the East, commemorates them on 20 January, by the Julian calendar (old style): Leontius alone, then, on the same day, Cyriacus, Cendeus, Bilios (Vitus), Florus and Felix. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology, of the same origin, lists Cyriacus, Cendeus, Vitus, Florus and Felix. No other account of them survives.
