Life
Holy Hierarch Solomon was archbishop of Ephesus. The surviving sources give no details about his life, so the Church keeps chiefly his name and memory as a hierarch of one of the oldest sees of Asia Minor.
The verses of the synaxarion play with the name: Solomon dies, not the son of David, but Solomon, the shepherd of shepherds. He is commemorated on 2 December (new style).
