Life

Saint Philemon the Martyr came from Thessalonica and is commemorated on 26 March (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) together with Domninus. The English calendar says that the two suffered in Italy; their names are also found in Western synaxaria, and a second commemoration of them falls on 21 March. They are therefore saints of the undivided Church.

The sources consulted give no other details about his life or his suffering.
