Life
Holy Martyr Zoilus suffered in the time of Diocletian. He is commemorated on 22 December (new style, the Greek calendar). According to the synaxarion, together with the holy women Agape, Irene and Chionia (commemorated on 16 April), he gathered from the waters of the lake the relics of Saint Chrysogonus, commemorated on the same day.
Some synaxaria mention a Saint Eutychianus beside Zoilus. A verse says that Zoilus, leaving the flowing life, found the abiding life in the place of the living.
