In his suffering, O Lord,/ Thy martyr Hermias received an imperishable crown from Thee our God;/ for, possessed of Thy might,/ he set at nought the tormentors and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons.// By his supplications save Thou our souls.
Having struggled eagerly for Christ,/ thou didst acquire courage at an advanced age, O martyr Hermias;/ and having trampled the machinations of the iniquitous underfoot by the power of Christ,/ thou didst remain unharmed by sorcerous potions, crying:/ "God is with me!// Who then can stand against me?"
