Greek version of the Martyrdom of Golinduch (BHG 700-701)<br><br>We have not examined this text, nor compared it to stories of the martyrdom in other languages. It is believed to be based on a Martyrdom originally written in Syriac. This original is lost, but there is an extant Georgian translation of it (see Bibliography). <br><br>Note that translations of hagiographical literature into other ancient languages are not as a rule recorded in the Cult of Saints database, unless there is evidence to suggest that the translation dates from the 7th century or earlier.<br>
