~To Alfeion.
Alfeios was speaking and he was speaking,
The mental tongue glorifies you, Loge.
Philadelphus philadelphus to the sword,
May God bless the brothers.~
The Holy Martyrs Alpheios, Kyprinos (or Cyril or Kyrinos or Kyprianos) and Philadelphus were brothers, sons of the lord Prefect Vitalios and came from the country of the Basques in Southern Italy.
After they were taught the orthodox faith and baptized by a holy man named Onesimus, they preached Christ. They were denounced for their theophilic activity, arrested by Angelion during the reign of Emperor Decius (249-251 AD) and sent captive to Rome.
From there, following the first interrogation, they were taken to the Potioli to the ruler Diomedes, who referred them to the ruler of Sicily Tertyllos, who, following he might not convince them, sentenced them to death.
Alpheios was beheaded following cutting out his tongue, while Philadelphus was burned on a red-hot grill, while Kyprinos was fried in a huge pan.
