ABSTRACT

As work progressed on this study, I observed that a great many warriors, mostly martyrs, are commemorated in Byzantine calendars. Some were relatively important and endowed with Passions; others usually did not figure elsewhere than in their commemoration; yet others may have escaped by attention. It would have been cumbersome and of little practical importance to have integrated all of them into this study. Consequently I have relegated a considerable number of them to an appendix, simply in order to have recorded them.
