Tyrannion

Holy Hieromartyr Tyrannion is remembered in the ancient martyrologies as bishop and martyr of Tyre. Some lists show him as bishop of Antioch (Tyrannion or Tyrannos), who died around 308, successor of Cyril I. His name points to origin in the city of Tyre. He was bishop at the beginning of the fourth century, but almost nothing else is known about him. Even the dates of his tenure are uncertain: according to some sources he served in the years 299-308, according to others in 304-314. The sources at hand do not tell the manner of his martyrdom.
