Martyr
Simiathus
A martyr commemorated with Saints Jonah, Barachisius and those with them.
Life
Saint Simiathus the Martyr is commemorated on 29 March (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the group of the martyrs Abibus, Zanithas, Elias, Lazarus, Mares, Maruthas, Narses, Sabbas and Simiathus, who suffered with Saints Jonas and Barachisius. The English calendar places them in Persia, in the time of King Shapur II, around the year 330. The Greek list, however, links them with Bishop Mark of Arethusa and the deacon Cyril, in Phoenicia, in the year 364; the sources do not agree here, and the place and time cannot be established with certainty.
No other details of his life or death have been preserved.
