But they were all arrested in Kyziko during the persecution. When they were taken to the local lord, they showed miraculous bravery and defended their faith with boldness and courage. For this reason, and in order to bend their vigor, they were thrown into prison.
There, without water and bread, he prayed and glorified their Lord who claimed to suffer for him and gave each other.
When the lord from prison asked them for the last time if they insist on believing in Christ, everyone in a “mouth and one heart” replied that they prefer the martyrdom to denying the rolling pin and creator and savior of the world. Furious by anger the lord immediately ordered their beheading by giving them the heavenly glory.
