Life

Saint Solochon is commemorated on 1 December (new style, the Greek calendar) as one of the archbishops of Ephesus, together with Ananias. The synaxarion says that both reposed in peace, but adds that this is probably a misunderstanding, because there were only two archbishops of Ephesus: Onesimus, commemorated on the same day, and Solochon, also called Solomon.

A verse says that two shepherds of one flock die and go to one land. No further details of his life are preserved.
