Let us hymn the two Alexanders, Dionysius and Dionysius, the glorious Agapius, Timolaus and Romulus, who suffered mightily and waged war against the myriads of the enemy.

¶3

Theotokion: O most immaculate Bride of God, who hast caused the gardens of ungodliness to wither up by thy birthgiving, uproot the enmity of the enemy which ever springeth up within me.

¶4

Pouring forth rivers of healings, O martyrs, in godly manner ye cleanse mortal men of the passions; wherefore, rejoicing, with faith we praise your valiant deeds.

Having completed the sacred contest lawfully, ye were lawfully crowned by the hand of the Omnipotent One, O ye seven martyrs, citizens of heaven, peers of the angels.
