Life
Saint Matronianus is commemorated on 7 November (new style, the Greek calendar) together with his brother Anthony. They were brothers of the holy martyr Hieron, the first of the thirty-three martyrs of Melitene commemorated on the same day. Like Hieron, they were beheaded in the city of Melitene.
The Greek source gives no further details of their lives. For Matronianus, the title of venerable in the record is not supported by the synaxarion, which shows him as a martyr.
Commemorated the same day November 7
