Life
Holy Martyr Theophilus the Younger is commemorated on 30 January in the old martyrologies. The sources do not agree: some place him at Alexandria, while Wikidata describes him as a Byzantine fleet commander beheaded in the time of the caliph Harun al-Rashid. Nothing more can therefore be said with certainty.
