Commemorated on November 10
The holy Apostles Erastus, Sosipater (April 28), Quartus and Tertius (October 30) were disciples of St Paul. The Apostle to the Gentiles speaks of them in the Epistle to the Romans, "And Erastus, the city treasurer, greets you, and Quartus, a brother" (Rom 16: 23).

Illumined by divine light, O holy apostles,you wisely destroyed the works of idolatry.When you caught all the pagans you brought them to the Masterand taught them to glorify the Trinity.
