Description

They treated, like all the Saints Anargyroi (meaning “without money”), the sick for non-profit for the services they offered. The miracle they performed, succeeding in transplanting a leg from a dead person to a patient with sepsis, is well known.

They succeeded in making Emperor Carino believe in Christianity at the time they were being tortured. They were killed, most likely by a medical rival.
