Life
Holy Martyr Porphyry was the servant of Saint Pamphilus and suffered at Caesarea in Palestine in the year 309, as Eusebius records him in his work on the Martyrs of Palestine. Still young, he asked the governor for the bodies of Pamphilus and his companions and was, for this reason, given to the flames. He is commemorated on 16 February (new style), together with Saint Pamphilus and his companions at Caesarea, among them Seleucus and Theodulus.
Commemorated the same day February 16
