Written in Greek at Caesarea, in 311; a longer version of the text survives only in a later Syriac translation.
E02868Greek inscription commemorating the restoration of the Hadrianeum (possibly a shrine of the emperor Hadrian) in Caesarea Maritima (Roman province of Palaestina I) in mid-5th - early 6th c., once wrongly believed to refer to a martyr shrine of *Adrianos (martyr of Caesarea, S00166).
E03046The early seventh-century Georgian version of the Lectionary of Jerusalem commemorates on 6 March *Agapios (martyr of Caesarea of Palestine, S00188), *Adrianos and Euboulos (martyrs of Caesarea of Palestine, S00166).
E03668The Church Calendar of Ioane Zosime, compiled in Georgian in the 10th century, based however on 5th-7th c. prototypes from Jerusalem, commemorates on 4 March *Kosmas and Damianos (brothers, physician martyrs of Syria, S00385), *Euboulos from Batanaea (martyr of Caesarea of Palestine, S00166) and *Hesychios (martyr of Antioch, S01034).
E03670The Church Calendar of Ioane Zosime, compiled in Georgian in the 10th century, based however on 5th-7th c. prototypes from Jerusalem, commemorates on 6 March *Agapios (probably the martyr of Caesarea of Palestine, S00188), *Adrianos and Euboulos from Batanaea (martyrs of Caesarea of Palestine, S00166), and *Konon (gardener and martyr of Magydos of Pamphilia, S00177).
