Life
Holy Martyr Pappius is one of the seven martyrs Claudius, Diodorus, Victor, Victorinus, Papias, Serapion and Nicephorus, commemorated together on 5 April. One calendar says they suffered at Corinth.
The Greek synaxarion considers them most probably the same as the martyrs of 31 January. No other details of Pappius survive. Their commemoration follows the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
