Life

Holy Martyr Thalelaeus is described in our register as a physician and martyr of Cilicia, honoured as an unmercenary healer. The Greek synaxarion preserves on 22 November the commemoration of Thalalaios together with Anthimos, martyrs killed by the sword, who seem to be the same as those commemorated on 19 November. The sources consulted give no other details of his life and time.

Commemorated the same day November 22
