At the Aposticha, the stichera from the Octoechos; and Glory…, in Tone VI —

O Cyril our father, thou heir of God, companion of Christ, servant of the Lord: thy life was in accordance with thy name; for understanding shone forth in thy gray hairs, the splendor of thy countenance bore witness to the innocence of thy soul and thine untroubled discourse proclaimed thy meekness. Thy life was glorious, and thy repose is with the saints. Pray thou in behalf of our souls.
