From the Prologue of Ochrid
These martyrs were by origin from Callipte in Asia, and Proclus was the uncle of Hilary. They suffered in the time of Trajan. "Of what lineage art thou?" the judge asked Proclus. Proclus replied: "My lineage is Christ, and my hope is my God." When the judge threatened him with torments, Proclus said: "If you are afraid to transgress the commandment of the emperor lest you fall into short-lived torments, how much more are we Christians afraid to transgress the commandment of God, lest we fall into eternal torments!" When Proclus was being tortured, Hilary approached the judge and said: "I too am a Christian." After many torments, both were condemned to death: Proclus was crucified on a cross, and Hilary was beheaded with a sword. And both departed into the joy of their Lord.
