Life

Holy Martyr Menander of Hermopolis was born in Egypt, and was a soldier. He received a martyr's death in the time of the Emperor Julian the Apostate (361-363): he was dragged naked over sharp stones.

In one manuscript, Codex Lavra 170, his commemoration appears on 16 March together with that of Saint Sabinus, but the Greek synaxarion honours him on 31 March, by the church calendar of the Church of Greece.

Commemorated the same day March 31
