Life
Holy Martyr Theoctistus is remembered on 4 February. The synaxaria say that he ended his life by the sword, but it is not known when or where he suffered. The year 1554, given in some lists on this day, belongs to the Holy New Martyr Nicholas of Corinth, remembered on the same day, not to Theoctistus.
