| ID | Title | E00318 | Eusebius of Caesarea, in his Ecclesiastical History (8.13 and 9.6), gives a list of nineteen Christian leaders martyred alongside numerous other Christians in various regions of the East during the tetrarchic persecutions (304-313). Written in Greek in Palestine, 311/325. | E02593 | The Martyrdom of Iulianos of Emesa, surviving only in Georgian, recounts the martyrdom and death of *Iulianos/Julian (martyr of Emesa, S01259) and of three other martyrs, *Silouan/Silvanos, Lukas and Mokimos (martyrs of Emesa, S01272). The events were soon followed by the translation of the head of John the Baptist (S00020) to Emesa. Translated in or before the 8th c. from a lost Greek original. |
