Life

Holy Martyr Pausolypius suffered in Thrace in the time of the emperor Hadrian (117-138), together with the holy hieromartyr Theodore. Both were put to death by the sword.

The synaxarion says that their synaxis was held at the home for the elderly (gerokomeion) of Melovios. No other details of their lives or torments survive. They are commemorated on 15 April, according to the calendar of the Church of Greece (new style).
