- St Emilian the Confessor, bishop of Cyzicus (820)
- He was one of the bishops summoned by the Patriarch Nikephoros to
defend the veneration of the holy icons against the Emperor Leo the
Armenian. For this reason he was sent into exile around 815, and after
many sufferings for his faithful confession, reposed in exile in 820.
