Life
Holy Great Martyr Theocletus, the former sorcerer, is commemorated on 26 February (new style) in the company of the martyrs around Saint Photini the Samaritan.
His commemoration appears only in Paris codex 1578. There is no biographical data, but Sophronios Eustratiades supposes in his Hagiologion that he is the sorcerer who gave poison to Saint Photini, believed in Christ, and was then beheaded.
