Timolaus and Companions : ウィキペディア英語版 | Timolaus and Companions
Saint Timolaus and five companions, according to the historian of the early Christian church Eusebius in his ''Martyrs of Palestine'', were young men who, having heard that the Roman authorities in Caesarea, Palestine, in 303 AD, had condemned a number of Christians to die by being thrown to wild beasts in the public arena, came before the governor of their own volition with their hands tied behind their backs and demanded to join their fellow Christians in that martyrdom. They were not however thrown to wild beasts but decapitated along with two other men who were already in prison. == Background ==
There are two extant versions of Eusebius' ''Martyrs of Palestine'' but in only the shorter recension is the story of Timolaus and his companions recounted; in the longer recension Timolaus is not mentioned. Eusebius was present in Caesarea during the persecutions, part of the empire-wide campaign to suppress Christianity.
