Saint Eutychius, Bishop of Melitene, May 28
Ὡς εὐτυχῶς σὺ εὐτύχησας τρισμάκαρ!
Θείας τετευχώς, Εὐτυχές, κληρουχίας,
Εἰκάδι ὀγδοάτῃ Εὐτυχέα ἔνθεν ἄειραν.
It is unknown where the Holy Hieromartyr Eutychios came from and when he worked. He became Bishop of Melitini, but because of his Christian activities he was arrested, he refused to sacrifice to idols, and after many tortures he threw himself into the water, where he met a martyr's death.
Sophronios Eustratiadis in his Hagiologia claims that it is wrongly spelled Eutychis and indeed bishop of Melitini and that the correct one is Eutychis martyr and not bishop.
