Martyrdom of Blasios (BHG 276-276f)

We have not examined this text. It is believed to be largely derived from an early form of the Greek
Martyrdom of *Irenarchos, Akakios and two children (martyrs of Sebasteia, ob. c. 284-305., S00623), for which see E06649; cf. Garitte, G. (ed.), "La Passion de s. Irénarque de Sébastée et la Passion de s. Blaise," Analecta Bollandiana 73 (1955), 24-31.
