ON SAINT LOLION, MARTYR, AMONG THE GREEKS.
CommentaryLolion, Martyr, among the Greeks (Saint)
The Greeks in the printed Menaia and the manuscript Menaia of Chifflet and others, and in Cytheraeus, indicate the name of this Martyr and the manner of his martyrdom in these words: "On the same day, Saint Lolion, overwhelmed with blows and trampled, ended his life." The Menaia add this couplet:
"Lolion stood bearing the blows of fists, Uttering neither a groan from his mouth nor a blow from his hand."
Another Martyr also named Lolion, but called "the youth" in comparison to this one, who expired after being dragged along the ground, is venerated in the same Menaia on April 27, as will be told in its proper time.
