On “Lord, I have cried”, these stichera, in Tone I: Spec. Mel.: “O all-praised martyrs…”—
Glory…, Now & ever…: Theotokion—
Troparion, in Tone III—
O ye sacred preachers who like winged eagles most splendidly soared aloft over the fullness of the world: Those who were pursued by the evil-doer ye did lead to the unadulterated Faith. Wherefore, pray ye that our souls be given peace and great mercy.
With sacred voices let us honor Tertius and Sosipater, Olympus and Rodion, and with them Erastus, the initiate of the mysteries, and the divine Quartus, who glorify Christ our God and beseech Him to grant our souls peace and great mercy.
Ye led the gentiles unto Christ God, O blessed one, delivered by the blood of Him Who was well pleased to be born on earth and Who willingly endured the Cross and death, O most wise ones. Him do ye now entreat, that He grant our souls peace and great mercy.
O all-hymned Mistress, thou hope and confirmation, refuge and help of the faithful, thee do we beseech: from all misfortunes keep thy servants who worship thine Offspring with faith. Him do thou entreat, that He grant our souls peace and great mercy.
Stavrotheotokion—
The unblemished ewe-lamb and Mistress, beholding her Lamb upon the Cross bereft of form and beauty, lamenting, said: “Woe is me! Whither hath Thy beauty gone, O most Sweet One? Where is Thy splendor? Where is the splendid grace of Thine image, O my most beloved Son?”
O holy apostles, entreat the merciful God, that He grant unto our souls the remission of transgressions.
