Life
Saint Socius the Martyr is commemorated on 31 January (new style, the calendar of the Church of Greece) in the group of the martyrs Tharsicius, Zoticus, Cyriacus and Socius. The English calendar places them at Alexandria, with their companions, and their names also appear in Western sources; they are therefore saints of the undivided Church.
The sources consulted give no further details about his life or the manner of his death.
