E00301Eusebius of Caesarea, in his Martyrs of Palestine (7.1-2), narrates the martyrdom of *Theodosia from Tyre (martyr of Caesarea of Palestine, S00161), on 2 April 308. Written in Greek at Caesarea in 311; a longer version of the text survives only in a later Syriac translation.
E03023The early seventh-century Georgian version of the Lectionary of Jerusalem commemorates on 12 February *Theodosia (possibly the martyr from Tyre of Caesarea of Palestine, S00161).
E03097The 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.
E03697The 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.
E03754The Church Calendar of Ioane Zosime, compiled in Georgian in the 10th c., based however on 5th-7th c. prototypes from Palestine, commemorates on 29 May *Liberius (bishop of Rome, ob. 366, S00758), probably *Iouliana/Juliana (martyr in Ptolemais, S01535), and *Theodosia from Tyre (martyr of Caesarea of Palestine, S00161).
E06318Seven 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).
