At the aposticha, the stichera from the Octoechos; and, Glory…, in Tone III —

Having fended off heresies with the shield of the Faith, Marcian and Martyrius, the champions of the Trinity and noetic beacons of the Church, illumined the world with the light of Orthodoxy. And, obedient to Paul the equal of the apostles, the pastor and teacher of true dogmas, they set at nought the distinctions of Arius and Nestorius and did away with the confusions of Sabellius and Severus. And theologizing concerning the Unity in Trinity, and God Who was incarnate of the Virgin, the most lauded ones preached that all should piously hymn the one Christ in two natures. Wherefore, having received crowns of victory from heaven, the divinely eloquent ones ask for us great mercy.

Troparion, in Tone IV —

A sword pierced thy heart, O all-pure one, when thou didst behold thy Son upon the Cross, and thou didst cry out: “Show me not to be childless, O my Son and my God, Who hast preserved me in virginity even after giving birth!”

In their sufferings, O Lord, Thy martyrs received imperishable crowns from Thee, our God; for, possessed of Thy might, they set at nought the tormenters and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons. By their supplications save Thou our souls.
