Life

Polyeuctus, Eupsychius, Clement, Primus and Lollius were martyrs of Nicomedia in Bithynia, saints of the undivided Church.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411 commemorates them on 22 January, by the Julian calendar (old style), together with a sixth whose name, Dabsos, is read uncertainly. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology, of the same origin, lists Polyeuctus, Eupsychius, Clement, Primus and Lollius. No other account of their lives or deaths survives.
