Oke

Holy Martyr Oke, that is Oceanus in Greek, is one of ten martyrs commemorated on 2 November (new style, the Greek calendar): Eudoxius, Agapius, Atticus, Marinus, Oceanus, Eustratius, Carterius, Nicopolitianus, Styrax and Tobias.

They were all soldiers in the city of Sebaste, in the time of Licinius. In the year 315 they were examined by the governor Auxanius, the duke Marcellus and Marcus Agricolaus, and boldly confessed the Christian faith. After many tortures they were thrown into the fire and burned alive, all receiving the unfading crown of martyrdom. The name Atticus does not mean a connection with the region of Attica, as one might think, but is the name of one of them.
