ON ST. HELLADIUS THE COMMENTARIENSIS, MARTYR.
CommentaryHelladius the Commentariensis, Martyr (St.)
From various sources.
Several persons named Helladius are celebrated in the sacred calendars, but none who was a Commentariensis, or, as the Menaion has it, Komentaresios. What sort of office this was is explained succinctly by Meursius in his Glossary, and more clearly by Baronius in the Notes to the Martyrology on March 27 c. and February 2 b. Concerning St. Helladius the Menaion relates only this: On the same day St. Helladius the Commentariensis was put to death by the sword:
Helladius, placing his head beneath the sword, Confounded the arrogance of Greek error.
Maximus Cythereus also records the same.
