Theolepte

Saint Theolepte is commemorated on 1 November (new style, the Greek calendar), but she is entirely unknown to the synaxaria. She is mentioned in the Parisian codex 259, folio 2a, where there is also a sticheron in her honour.

From this hymn it is inferred that she was tortured by a tyrant, thrown into prison and, most probably, died a martyr. No further details of her life are preserved.
