Very brief summary:
In the reign of Dekios, old provincial governors are replaced by new, more brutal ones, with the intent of persecuting Christians. In the ‘province of the land of Thesprotia’, in the city of Bouthroton [in the text Botrotos or Botroton], the new governor Philippos reads the imperial decree and is confronted by a local Christian, Therinos, who professes his faith. The governor is in the process of torturing Therinos in various ways when the text of the manuscript breaks off.
According to the ending, found in the Latin version of the Martyrdom, the saint’s miraculous salvation from all the tortures inflicted on him causes the governor Philippos to convert. Therinos then lives for another three-and-a-half years and is buried in the city called ‘Bosrena’.
