Life
Christian princes from Argveti. Condemned to death for Christ in Imereti by the Caliph Emir-el-Mumenim, and drowned in a river in the year 730. Before their death they prayed to God that God would forgive the sins of all those who would invoke them in prayer for help. When they had finished their prayer, thunder sounded and a voice was heard from heaven that their prayer had been granted. Their relics repose in Georgia, in the Monastery of Motsameta.
