Life
Holy Martyr Synetus died by the sword and is commemorated on 22 February (new style) in the calendar of the Church of Greece, alongside Anthusa and Ariston, bishop of Arsinoe in Cyprus.
A verse of the synaxarion says that Synetus sang even as he died under the sword: "Seeing the senseless, I melted away." He may be the same as the Synetus commemorated on 12 December. An online synaxarion notes that his existence and the date of his feast are not confirmed by other sources.
