Marian of Caesarea

Holy Martyr Marian of Caesarea, called Marinus in some manuscripts, is commemorated together with the Holy Martyr Eugenius. The time in which they lived is not known. The Azbyka page notes that they are distinct from the venerable Maria (Marinus) and Eugenius, commemorated on 12 February in the old style, that is 25 February in the new style.

The commemoration of Eugenius and Marinus on 10 December in the old style, that is 23 December in the new style, is placed in the Synaxarion of the Church of Constantinople of the end of the tenth century and in the Typikon of the Great Church of the ninth and tenth centuries. In several Greek manuscripts the name Marinus is replaced by Marian. In the synaxaria with verses, for example in a manuscript of 1295, it is said that Eugenius was beaten to death with rods, and Marinus with stones. Their names are not in today's Menologion of the Russian Church.
