Life

Saints Theodotus and Theodotia suffered martyrdom at Caesarea in Cappadocia during the reign of Trajan because they refused to sacrifice to idols. They are commemorated on 4 July (new style; 17 July on the old calendar). In the Greek synaxaria they appear on 3 July together with other martyrs (Dolinduch, Diomedes, Eulampius and Asclepiades), but the sources consulted preserve no further details.
