- Hieromartyr Dorotheus, bishop of Tyre (361)
- He became Bishop of Tyre in Phoenecia during the reign of
Diocletian. The persecutions under Diocletian and Maximian drove him to
Thrace; after their death he returned to Tyre. Persecution broke out
again under Julian the Apostate, and Dorotheus was seized and tortured
to death at the age of 107. He wrote learned writings in both Greek and
Latin, telling the lives of the Prophets and the Saints.
