From the Prologue of Ochrid

These two wondrous men were tortured for the name of Christ in the time of Emperor Diocletian. They were severely beaten, then seared on an iron grate, then tied by their tails to horses and dragged over stones and thorns. Thus they were torn to pieces, and they gave up their holy souls to God. Their relics are buried in Pentapolis.
