Holy Two Martyrs of Thrace

Holy Two Martyrs of Thrace (Feast Day - October 25)

Verses

The evil ones found a stone kylistra,*
In which both athletes together were pressed.

The Holy Two Martyrs of Thrace met their end by being pressed in between two rocks.

Notes:

* A kylistra, according to Aristophanes, was a place in which horses rolled around in.
