Life

Sosistratus, Hesperius and Glycerius were martyrs of Antioch, among those of the early times, saints of the undivided Church.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411, the oldest martyr calendar of the East, commemorates them on 8 July, by the Julian calendar (old style), as among the first martyrs of Antioch. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology, of the same origin, places them at Sirmium, with forms of the names that seem corrupt. No other account of their lives or deaths survives.
