Hierotheos, Bishop of Athens

Reading from the Synaxarion:

According to some, Hierotheus, like Saint Dionysius, was a member of the
court of Mars Hill. Having first been instructed in the Faith of Christ
by Paul, he became Bishop of Athens. He, in turn, initiated the
divine Dionysius more perfectly into the mysteries of Christ; the
latter, on his part, elaborated more clearly and distinctly Hierotheus'
concise and summary teachings concerning the Faith. He too was brought
miraculously by the power of the Holy Spirit to be present at the Dormition of
the Theotokos, when, together with the sacred Apostles, he became a
leader of the divine hymnody. "He was wholly transported, wholly outside
himself and was so deeply absorbed in communion with the sacred things he
celebrated in hymnology, that to all who heard him and saw him and knew him,
and yet knew him not, he seemed to be inspired of God, a divine
hymnographer," as Dionysius says (On the Divine Names, 3:2). Having lived in a
manner pleasing to God, he reposed in the Lord.

Apolytikion in the Fourth Tone
Since thou hadst been instructed in uprightness thoroughly and wast
vigilant in all things, thou wast clothed with a good conscience as
befitteth one holy. Thou didst draw from the Chosen Vessel ineffable
mysteries; and having kept the Faith, thou didst finish a like course, O
Hieromartyr Hierotheos. Intercede with Christ God that our souls be saved.

Kontakion in the Plagal of the Fourth Tone
As Athens' Hierarch, we acclaim thee, since through thee we have
received instruction in things awesome and ineffable; for thou wast a
God-inspired writer of divine hymns. O Hierotheus all-blessed, do thou pray
to God, so that we may be redeemed from all calamities, that thus we
may cry: Rejoice, O Father wise in things divine.
