Summary:
On 14 December 309, a group of Christians travelling from Egypt to Cilicia with the purpose of ministering to the local confessors were detained in the city of Ascalon. After they were brought to the court of Firmilianus, where they confessed to being Christians, most of them were subjected to mutilation. Three Christians from this group, however, were executed in Ascalon: Arēs by burning alive, and Promos and Ēlias by beheading by the sword.
