Saints Diodorus the presbyter and Marianus the deacon suffered martyrdom with Sts Chrysanthus and Daria.
In
a cave near the place of execution, Christians began to gather to honor
the anniversary of the saints’ martyrdom. They celebrated Church

Two of these martyrs are known by name: the Presbyter Diodorus and the Deacon Marianus.
