No Kontakion is given in the Menaion.
Martyrs Anthony, John and Eustathius of Vilnius, Troparion, in Tone IV
O valiant and honored athletes who spurned earthly honors and glory, mightily and manfully did ye endure torments for the sake of the Faith, giving yourselves over to death for the Master, the Life of all. Wherefore, with a pillar of cloud from heaven did Christ ail-gloriously illumine you. Standing before Him with the angels, pray ye that our souls be saved.
Or this troparion, in the same tone
Having caused branches of the Orthodox Faith to spring forth from a barren root, O all-blessed ones, ye were shown to be namesakes of the protomartyr; for ye were not daunted by the wrath of the evil and impious prince, who commanded you to renounce Christ. Wherefore, having received crowns of victory, and standing with the angels before the throne of the Master, O all-blessed ones, pray for us who in Orthodox manner honor your holy memory.
Kontakion, in Tone III, "Today the Virgin..."
Having forsaken the deception of your fathers, O holy ones, ye cleaved unto Christ, and with ardor of soul ye stood firmly unto death with manly mind. Wherefore, ye have truly taken in hand the trophy of victory, unceasingly entreating our Master for us all.
