Notes

1. The notation Old Style or (OS) is sometimes used to indicate a date in the Julian Calendar (which is used by churches on the "Old Calendar").
   The notation New Style or (NS), indicates a date in the Revised Julian calendar (which is used by churches on the "New Calendar").
2. Name days celebrated today include:
   • Socrates (Σωκράτης).
3. "At Nicomedia, the birthday of the Saints Dasius, Zoticus, Caius, and twelve other soldiers, who, after suffering various torments, were submerged in the sea." ^[6]
4. His memory is recorded in the Jerusalemitic Canonarion (page 115), together with Saint Irene and Saint Marina of Raithu.
5. "IN Cyprus, the birthday of the holy abbot Hilarion. His life, full of virtues and miracles, was written by St. Jerome." ^[6]
6. In the Synaxaristes they are called "newly-revealed" Saints and were martyred under Constantine V Copronymus. Andrew was a monk from Crete, and after checking Copronymus, he was beheaded and buried in "the Judgment" (see October 17). The other three were probably monastics as well, since they staunchly defended the holy Orthodox Canons, and were also beheaded by Copronymus.
7. He is absent in the Synaxarion of St. Nicodemus. However his memory is recorded in the Synaxarion of Delahaye, without any biographical details, except for the following phrase:

   • «Μνήμη τοῦ Ὁσίου Ἰακώβου τοῦ γενομένου οἰκονόμου τῆς Μονῆς τοῦ Σωτῆρος Χριστοῦ τοῦ Βαθέος Ρύακος, ὃς ὤρμητο ἐκ τῆς δευτέρας τῶν Καππαδόκων ἐπαρχίας».

8. A Roman priest with Pope Callistus, whose body he secretly buried. For this reason he was cast into the Tiber at Ostia by order of the Emperor Alexander. Orthodox Christians recovered his body and buried it in Ostia where it is now enshrined in the Cathedral.
9. "At Ostia, St. Asterius, priest and martyr, who suffered under the emperor Alexander, as we read in the Acts of the blessed pope Callistus." ^[6]
10. A disciple of St Justus, Archbishop of Lyons in France, whom he accompanied to live as a hermit.
11. "At Lyons, St. Viator, deacon of blessed Justus, bishop of that city." ^[6]
12. "At Cologne, the birthday of the Saints Ursula and her companions, who gained the martyrs' crown by being massacred by the Huns for the Christian religion and their constancy in keeping their virginity. Many of their bodies were deposited at Cologne." ^[6]
13. Early and famous virgin-martyrs in Cologne in Germany.
14. "At Laon, St. Cilinia, mother of blessed Remigius, bishop of Rheims." ^[6] She reposed in Laon in France.
15. A disciple of St Columba at Iona, he later founded the monastery of Taghmon in Co. Wexford in Ireland. In Scotland he is called St Mundus. He bore a terrible skin disease with great patience.
16. A monk from Ireland who succeeded St Colman as Bishop of Lindisfarne in England. He died of the plague within the first year of his appointment.
17. Born in England, he became a hermit at Fontaine-de-Saint-Valéry in the north of France. On hearing of the monastery of Fontenelle, he became a monk there and later preached Christ while living on an island in the Seine near Caudebec.
18. "S. Wendelin is thought, without evidence, to have been of Scottish or Irish origin, and to have been a shepherd in the diocese of Treves. A great deal of fable has been told about him, as that he was the son of a Scottish king, who sent him to Treves to keep swine, because he was so fond of reading the psalter and praying in churches. All that is really known of him is that he was a pious shepherd, and that miracles were believed to be wrought over his body, which reposes at S. Wendel on the Nahe. A great fire broke out at Saarbruck in 1417, which was extinguished after invocation of S. Wendel, whereupon he became generally famous. He is represented as a shepherd or swineherd." ^[28]
19. The 300 Allemagne Saints came to Cyprus from Palestine, and lived as ascetics in various parts of the island. According to some of their lives in the Great Synaxaristes, after the dissolution of the Second Crusade (1147–1149), they decided to live the monastic life in the Jordan desert. However since the Latins there disturbed them, they relocated to Cyprus and dispersed over the island. ^{[34] [35]}
