| ID | Title | E00300 | Eusebius of Caesarea, in his Martyrs of Palestine (4.1-15), narrates the martyrdom of *Apphianos from Lycia (martyr of Caesarea of Palestine, S00159), on 2 April 305, and the miraculous recovery of his body. Written in Greek at Caesarea in 311; a longer version of the text survives only in a later Syriac translation. | E03097 | The early seventh-century Georgian version of the Lectionary of Jerusalem commemorates on 2 April, at the Church of the Anastasis, *Apphianos and Aedesios (martyrs of Caesarea of Palestine, S00159) or possibly *Theodosia from Tyre (martyr of Caesarea of Palestine, S00161) instead of Aedesios. | E03697 | The Church Calendar of Ioane Zosime, compiled in Georgian in the 10th century, based however on 5th-7th c. prototypes from Jerusalem, commemorates on 2 April *Apphianos (martyr of Caesarea of Palestine, S00159), *Theodosia from Tyre (martyr of Caesarea of Palestine, S00161), Stephen the Sabaite, 8th c. monk, and an unidentified bishop Stephen. | E04953 | The Greek Life of *Nikolaos of Sion (abbot and bishop in Lycia, ob. 564, S00559) recounts the foundation of the monastery of Holy Sion in the village of Pharroa in Lycia (south-west Asia Minor) and the miracles of Nikolaos, its first abbot. A number of shrines of different saints are mentioned in the narrative. Written in the late 6th c., probably at the monastery of Holy Sion. Overview entry | E04957 | The Greek Life of *Nikolaos of Sion (abbot and bishop in Lycia, ob. 564, S00559) mentions fifteen shrines of various saints at villages in the territory of Myra in Lycia (south-west Asia Minor), and the celebration of public feasts with sacrifices of oxen at them, organised by Nikolaos, abbot of the monastery of Holy Sion. Written in the late 6th c., probably at the monastery of Holy Sion in Lycia. | E06318 | Seven fragments of a Greek inscription, from Sicyon (near Corinth), with a calendar of saints' feast days.
