Phyllus of Gothia

Holy Martyr Phyllus of Gothia was one of the holy Gothic martyrs who died around the year 375, in the time of King Ungerich, who persecuted Christians. The Goths were a group of Germanic peoples, settled mostly on the Danube, in present-⁠day Romania.

The king ordered the church set on fire during the service, and in the flames three hundred and eight people perished, of whom the names of twenty-⁠one are known: the priests Vafusius and Verk, the monk Arpila, the laymen Abibus, Agnus, Reas, Igathrax, Iskoes, Silas, Sigetzas, Sonirilas, Suimbalus, Ferm, Phyllus and Constans, the prince Agathon and the women martyrs Anna, Alla, Larissa, Moiko, Mamika, Uirko, Animais, Gaatha, the queen of the Goths, and Duclida, the princess of the Goths. The king's widow, Alla, with her daughter Duclida, gathered the martyrs' remains and carried them to Syria; then she returned to her homeland, where she was stoned together with her son Agathon. The relics remained with Duclida, who came to Cyzicus and gave a part of them for the consecration of a church. She died in peace.
