Life

Marinus, Theodotus and Sedopha of Tomis were martyrs of Tomis on the Black Sea coast, in Scythia (present-⁠day Dobruja), remembered together.

The Roman Martyrology says only that at Tomis in Scythia there were the holy martyrs Marinus, Theodotus and Sedopha. The index of that edition places them on 5 July, not on 26 July as our record has. We have no data on the time or circumstances of their martyrdom.

They are saints of the undivided Church, named in the Roman Martyrology; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known. The information is very scant.

Commemorated the same day July 26
