Life

Holy Martyr Thales (Phalus) suffered together with the Holy Martyr Artemidorus, and both were put to the sword. The calendar page we rely on says nothing about the place, time or earlier life of either, so we add nothing that is not known for certain.

He is commemorated on 3 October (new style), together with Artemidorus. Their names are not included in the present Menologion of the Russian Church.

Commemorated the same day September 20
