The holy martyrs suffered under the Gothic king Ungerich during the reign of the Roman emperors Julian, Valentinian, and Gratian. Being Christians, they were conducting services in their churches when Ungerich sent servants who set fire to the churches, burning 308 people. The Christians who were carrying offerings were interrogated, and those who confessed their faith in Christ were thrown into the fire, with the bodies of the martyrs being offered instead of the offerings. The wife of another Gothic king, Saint Alla, gathered the bodies of the holy martyrs and, having entrusted the rule to her son Arimerius, moved with the presbyters to the Syrian land. Later, she returned to Gothia, where she was stoned and accepted a martyr's end, while her daughter Duklida peacefully passed away a few years later.
