Irmos: I will sacrifice to Thee with a voice of praise, O Lord, the Church crieth unto Thee, cleansed of the blood of demons by the blood which, for mercy’s sake, flowed from Thy side.
Kontakion, in Tone II: Spec. Mel.: “The steadfast…”—
Having disdained corruptible and transitory things, ye have been vouchsafed to behold incorruptible things; wherefore, from temptations and misfortunes deliver those who call upon you with faith, O most lauded ones.
Theotokion: Rend asunder the record of my transgressions, O Maiden, granting release from the grief and sufferings which hold me fast, and preserving me ever unharmed, O Mistress.

Committing themselves to death for Thee, O my Savior, the valorous ones received immortality and are become the saviors of those who are in the midst of tempest, dangers and sorrows.
The pious and God-bearing martyrs, who on earth forsook all things—Acindynus, Pegasius and Anempodistus, and with them Aphthonius and Elpidephorus—Thou didst receive into the delight of Thy good things and into rest, O Thou Who alone are all-good.
Ikos: Open my mouth, O Christ my Lord, that with honor I may hymn and praise the struggles of Thine athletes; for, forsaking all, and loving Thee, the Creator of all, they considered all things on earth corruptible. Thus, making the honored sign of Thy life-bearing Cross, they have diligently taken their place before their King, as valiant soldiers and martyrs, crying out to Thee, O Thou Who alone art all-good.
