The Holy Martyrs Onesiphorus and Porphyrius.
Commemorated November 9 in the Orthodox Christian Menaion
From the Prologue
These two wonderful men were martyred for the name of Christ in the time of the Emperor Diocletian (284-305). They were harshly beaten, and then burned in iron coffins, and after that tied to horses' tails and dragged over stones and thistles. They were thus broken to pieces and gave their holy souls into God's hands. Their relics were buried in Pentapolis.
