Holy Martyrs Stephen, Barnabas, Trophimos, Dorymedon, Kosmas, Damian,
Savvas, Vassa, Abramios, and others with them (Feast Day - October 31)

Verses

Nine athletes together with a multitude of athletes,
Equally shared in crowns in the heavens.

The Holy Martyrs Stephen, Barnabas, Trophimos, Dorymedon, Kosmas, Damian, Savvas, Vassa, Abramios, and others with them, died for their faith in Christ, though we do not have any further details. 

On September 19th we commemorate the Holy Martyrs Trophimos, Dorymedon and Sabbatios, and they are probably the Holy Martyrs Trophimos, Dorymedon and Savvas that we commemorate today.
