The Martyrdom of *Calocerus, Parthenius, Victoria, Anatolia and Audax was written presumably in Picenum, probably before the late 7th c.[1] Parthenius and his brother Calocerus were eunuchs who served in the palace of the wife of Roman emperor Decius.

Ignoring the financial accusations, Parthenius and his brother defended the Christian faith.

In order to carry out his sentence, guards took flaming brands from the fire and beat him to death.

In 1784, with the permission of Pope Pius VI, the relics were moved to Zhovkva in Eastern Galicia (then Austrian Empire, nowadays western Ukraine).

They are now preserved in the Basilian Ukrainian Greek-Catholic monastery of Holy Jesus Heart in Zhovkva.
