ATTENTION! It is a rough mistake made by Romanian Synaxarists. They saw Greek commemoration of "Μνήμη τῶν δύο Ἐπισκόπων Ὁμολογητῶν τῶν ἐξορισθέντων σὺν τῷ Ἁγίῳ Μαρτίνῳ (Two Confessor Bishops with Pope Martin)" (April, 13 - https://www.synaxarion.gr/gr/sid/2642/sxsaintinfo.aspx ) and 2) names of Sergiy, Pir and Theodor in the text of service to Martin in Minea - and decided that this is a names of confessor bishops / BUT Sergiy, Pir and Theodor was heretics who confessed Monothelitism! Mineas' service contains the denunciations of four heretics, Sergiy, Pir, Theodor and Kyr! // DO NOT DELETE THIS HIDDEN PARTITION. Comment is too big for Briefly description field. And this info must be available for another people. (Excuse me please My poor English.) -->
