St Hegesippus (c110-c180) Ancient Christian Writer. The Roman Martyrology reads: “St Hegesippus, who lived near the time of the Apostles, He came to Rome whilst Anicetus was the Sovereign Pontiff and remained until the accession of Eleutherius. He wrote the history of the Church in a simple style, from the Passion of our Lord, to his own time and, delineated, in his narrative, the character of those whose lives he imitated.”

Martyrs of Pentapolis – 4 Saints: A Bishop, Deacon and two Lectors at Pentapolis, Lydia who for their faith were tortured, had their tongues cut out, and were left for dead. They survived and each died years later of natural causes; however, because they were willing to die and because there were attempts to kill them, they are considered martyrs. We know little else except their names – Ammonius, Irenaeus, Serapion and Theodore c 310 at Pentapolis, Lybia.
Martyrs of Sinope – 200 Saints: 200 Christian soldiers Martyred together for their faith. We don’t even have their names. They were martyred in Sinope, Pontus, Asia Minor (in modern Turkey).
