E02075The Greek Martyrdom of *Kodratos (martyr of Hellespontus, S01159) recounts the martyrdom of an aristocratic Christian man who is arrested at Nicomedia, and after being tortured at Nicaea, Apollonia, and Apamea, is executed at the village of Seroukome in Hellespontus; all in north-west Asia Minor. It also mentions the Bithynian martyrs *Satorninos and Rouphinos (S01160). Presumably written in north-west Asia Minor, sometime in the 4th-7th c.
E03030The early seventh-century Georgian version of the Lectionary of Jerusalem commemorates on 19 February, 'in the Martyrion', *Kodratos (possibly the martyr of Hellespontus, S01159).
E03686The Church Calendar of Ioane Zosime, compiled in Georgian in the 10th century, based however on 5th-7th c. prototypes from Jerusalem, commemorates on 22 March *Akakios (perhaps the bishop and martyr of Melitine, S01380, or the soldier and martyr of Byzantion, S00468), and *Kodratos (perhaps the martyr of Hellespontus, S01159).
E03722The Church Calendar of Ioane Zosime, compiled in Georgian in the 10th c., based however on 5th-7th c. prototypes from Palestine, commemorates on 27 April *Christophoros (martyr of Pamphylia, perhaps under Decius, S00616), *Kodratos (soldier and martyr in Ptolemais under Aurelian, S01602) or *Kodratos (martyr in Hellespontus, S01159), *Nestabos (martyr in Gaza under the emperor Julian, S01653), and *Basileus (bishop and martyr of Amasea, S01634).
