E07146The Greek Martyrdom of *Agathonikos and his Companions (martyr of Bithynia and Thrace, S01628) recounts the martyrdom of a leading Christian, arrested in the area of Nicomedia (north-west Asia Minor), and taken to Byzantium and Selymbria (Thrace, eastern Balkans) for execution. The text mentions martyrdoms and shrines in the surroundings of Nicomedia and Chalcedon (both close to Constantinople). Written in Constantinople, perhaps in the 5th or 6th centuries.
