The Aposticha from the Octoechos, and this sticheron, in Tone I—

Stichos: Wondrous is God in His saints, the God of Israel.

Now & ever…: Theotokion, or this Stavrotheotokion: Spec. Mel.: “When from the Tree…”—

Troparion, in Tone II—

The martyrs of fivefold radiance, equal in number to the wise virgin, have shone forth in beams of light; and, gazing upon their icon, we commune in their memory. Wherefore, through their supplications, O Christ, save our souls from the enemy, and by their entreaties preserve our life abundantly, for Thou pourest forth Thy rich mercies unceasingly upon those who glorify Thee unwaveringly. Through their prayers grant great mercy unto our souls, which trust in Thee.

Now & ever…: Theotokion, or this Stavrotheotokion: Spec. Mel.: “As one valiant among the martyrs…”—

Glory…, in Tone II: Idiomelon—

Come, let us rejoice in the Lord today, on the day of the commemoration of the passion-bearers! O ye who love the feasts of the Church, come, let us praise them, mystically offering laudation unto them: Rejoice, O Acindynus! Rejoice, O Pegasius! Rejoice, O Anempodistus! Rejoice, O Elpidephorus! Rejoice, O Aphthonius! who drowned in the abyss the deception of idolatry and preached Christ the Lord openly in the midst of the arena! Wherefore, O most blessed ones who suffered exceedingly, pray ye without ceasing in behalf of our souls.

Beholding Thee nailed to the tree of the Cross, O Jesus, she who knew not wedlock said, lamenting: “O my Child most sweet, wherefore hast Thou abandoned me who alone gave Thee birth? O unapproachable Light of the unoriginate Father, haste Thou and glorify Thyself, that those who glorify Thy divine sufferings may receive divine glory!”

O athletes of the Lord, blessed is the earth which drank in your blood, and holy the habitations which have received your bodies; for ye vanquished the enemy in the arena and preached Christ with boldness. Entreat Him, in that He is good, we pray, that our souls be saved.

Stichos: Many are the tribulations of the righteous, and the Lord shall deliver them out of them all.

Having empurpled thy body with streams of blood, thou didst tread the path of martyrdom without faltering, O athlete Acindynus; wherefore, girded about with divine strength, thou didst hew down the devices of the enemy. Entreat Christ God in our behalf, that our souls may be saved.

Glory…, in Tone IV—

The five-lighted lamp of the athletes felled the deceit of the enemy like an axe in a grove of trees, as David described; and having confessed Christ before the emperor, they pray unceasingly in behalf of our souls.

As she beheld Thee nailed to the Cross, O Lord, the Ewe-lamb, Thy Mother, marvelled and cried out: “What is this sight which I see, O my Son most desired? Thus hath the unbelieving and most iniquitous synagogue dealt with Thee, which enjoyed Thy many miracles! But glory, O Master, to Thine ineffable condescension!”
