Martyr
Marcian
A martyr of the undivided Church, commemorated in the Greek synaxarion.
Life
Holy Martyr Marcian suffered by being beaten with clubs until his limbs were broken. He is commemorated on 10 March (new style) in the Greek synaxarion, alongside Quadratus of Corinth (died 251) and Anectus, Dionysius, Crescens, Cyprian and Paul.
A verse of the synaxarion says that mortals marvelled at him, crushed with wood, and that the heavenly minds say Amen. He belongs to the saints of the undivided Church. No other details of his life have survived in the source consulted.
