Note: as was shown by Vinogradov 2013, the 14th-15th century manuscript Oxon. Bodl. Holkham gr. 24, which preserves on ff. 166v-173r an 8th century version of the Martyrdom (ed. Halkin 1971, 231-237; see https://pinakes.irht.cnrs.fr/notices/oeuvre/11413/), contains on ff. 170-171 a fragment of the lost Greek Martyrdom of saint Paraskeue of Iconium (chapters 7-8 in Halkin 1971, 278-280), a homonymous saint previously known only from the Slavonic tradition.
