| ID | Title | E03560 | Coptic fragments of the Martyrdom of *Kosmas and Damianos (brothers, physicians martyrs of Syria, S00385), and of their brothers *Anthimos, Leontios and Euprepios (S01544), with their mother *Theodote (S01544) in Antioch, relating numerous miracles which occur during their trial and martyrdom; written presumably in the 5. | E03850 | Wall painting from a site 2 km north of Wadi Sarga (Upper Egypt), of the *Three Hebrew Youths (of the Old Testament Book of Daniel, S01198), with a Coptic inscription below it mentioning the *Sixty Martyrs of Samalut (Middle Egypt) (S01515), and, to either side and below it, paintings of *Kosmas and Damianos (brothers, physicians martyrs of Syria, S00385) and their three brothers, and fellow martyrs, *Anthimos, Leontios and Euprepios (S01544) on a smaller scale. Now in the British Museum; datable to the 6th/7th century. | E04969 | The 6th/7th c. recension of the Latin Martyrologium Hieronymianum, as transmitted in 8th c. manuscripts, records the feasts of a number of saints on 27 September. | E06712 | The Greek so-called 'Asian' Life of *Kosmas and Damianos (brothers, physician martyrs of Syria, S00385) recounts how the two saints practised as doctors, healing both people and animals and never asking for payment, and how they both died peacefully and were buried together at a place called Phereman; the account ends with two miracle-stories set at their burial shrine. Written in the East, perhaps in Constantinople, possibly in the 4th c. or later. | E07077 | The Greek so-called 'Arabian' Martyrdom of *Kosmas and Damianos (brothers, physician martyrs of Syria, S00385), and of their blood brothers and companion martyrs *Anthimos, Leontios and Euprepios (S01544), recounts the torture, steadfastness, and eventual death of the five martyrs in the city of Aigai, in the time of Diocletian and Maximian. The text survives in two recensions, the common original of which was probably composed in the 5th-6th century, perhaps in Rome, or in Cilician Aigai, or elsewhere in the East. |
