Life

Holy Hieromartyr Papylas of Pergamon was a deacon from Thyatira who was arrested at Pergamon together with Carpus, bishop of Gurdos, and Agathonike. He refused to renounce the faith and was tortured and put to death. The acts of their martyrdom, written in the second or third century, have come down to us. He is commemorated on 13 April by the Roman calendar (new style); the Byzantine synaxaria have him on 13 October with Carpus.

Commemorated the same day April 13
