| ID | Title | E00671 | Basil of Caesarea delivers his Homily on *Gordios (martyr of Kaisareia/Caesarea of Cappadocia, S00114) during a service held at the saint's shrine. He recounts the story of the martyrdom from oral tradition. Written in Greek in Caesarea (central Asia Minor), in the 370s. | E00821 | Basil of Caesarea, in his Letter 202 of 375, to Amphilochios of Ikonion/Iconium, reports that, though ill, he paid a visit by carriage to shrines of martyrs near Kaisareia/Caesarea of Cappadocia (central Asia Minor). Written in Greek at Kaisareia. | E01445 | The early 5th c. Syriac Martyrology commemorates on 2 March the martyrdom of *Gordios (martyr of Caesarea of Cappadocia, S00114). Preserved in a manuscript written in Edessa (northern Mesopotamia) in 411. | E06318 | Seven fragments of a Greek inscription, from Sicyon (near Corinth), with a calendar of saints' feast days. Those that can be read are the following (in alphabetical order): *Aphra (possibly Afra, martyr of Augsburg, S01797), *Apphianos/Amphianos (martyr of Caesarea of Palestine, S00159), *Andrew (the Apostle, S00288), *Antipas (presumably the bishop and martyr of Pergamon, S01816), *Antoninos (martyr of Alexandria, S00327), *Christophoros (martyr of Pamphylia, S00616), *Demetrios (martyr of XXXXX, S02464), *Epimachus (martyr of Rome, buried on the via Latina, S00295), *Glykeria (martyr of Perinthus-Heraclea in Thrace, S00018), *Gordiοs (presumably the soldier and martyr of Caesarea of Cappadocia, S00114), *Kodratos and his companions (martyrs of Corinth, S02368), *Laurence/Laurentius (deacon and martyr of Rome, S00037), *Pionios (presbyter and martyr of Smyrna, $S00031), *Theodosia (from Tyre, martyr of Palestine, $S00161), *Viktor (perhaps Viktor, martyr of Nicomedia, $S00975). Found at Sikyon near Corinth (north-eastern Peloponnese). Probably 5th c. | E06826 | The Greek Martyrdom of *Gordiοs (soldier and martyr of Caesarea of Cappadocia, S00114), almost certainly a 10th c. or slightly earlier text which reproduces almost unchanged a lost earlier Martyrdom of *Hesychios (martyr of Antioch, S01034). |
