Koniakion, Tone VIII
When the Most High came down and confused the tongues, He divided the nations, but when He distributed the tongues of fire, He called all to unity. And with one accord we glorify the All-Holy Spirit.
Martyr Theodotus of Ancyra & 7 Virgins; Martyrs Peter, Dionysius & Cc
No Troparion is given in the Menaion.
Kontakion, Tone II, "Seeking the highest..."
Having struggled well as an athlete, O Theodotus,/ with the athletes and the passion-bearing virgins thou hast received crowns of honor.// Wherefore, entreat ye Christ God unceasingly in behalf of us all.
