Life

The Two Soldiers are commemorated on 16 October (new style, the Greek calendar) as martyrs. The synaxarion says of them only that they suffered together with Saint Longinus, who is commemorated on the same day.

Their names, place and year are not preserved. A verse of the synaxarion speaks of two fellow strugglers who left the service of the perishable army, under the sword, and enlisted in the army of the Lord.
