Life
Holy Martyr Oceanus is commemorated on 12 September in the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style), among the martyrs Theodulus, Theodore, bishop of Alexandria, Julian, Macedonius and Tatian. Another page on saint.gr, on 4 September, says of Oceanus, together with Saints Centurion, Theodore, Ammianus and Julian, that they were from the village of Kandavle and were seized in the time of the emperor Maximian (in the year 288). Because they all boldly confessed the Christian faith, they were burned alive and so received the glorious crown of martyrdom. No other details survive.
