Life

Theodotus and Demetrius were presbyters and martyrs of Perinthus, a city of Thrace later called Heraclea, saints of the undivided Church.

The Syriac Martyrology of 411 commemorates them on 14 November, by the Julian calendar (old style), as "presbyters and martyrs" in the same city where, the day before, the presbyter Hedistus is also named. The Latin Hieronymian Martyrology names Theodotus at Heraclea. No other account survives.
