Baring-Gould’s sources: Greek Menaea and Menology; also on May 28, but the commemorations seem to be of two distinct persons of the same name, one a martyr, the other a disciple of SS. Paul and John. In the modern Roman Martyrology “ S. Eutychins, disciple of S. John the Evangelist, who for preaching the Gospel, in various parts, suffered imprisonment, stripes and fire, but died at length in peace."] The Greeks venerate on this day S. Eutyches, disciple of S. John the Divine and of S. Paul. It has been conjectured that this Eutyches is the same as the young man Eutychus who fell down from an upper loft at Philippi when S. Paul was preaching, and was taken up as dead, but was restored to consciousness by the apostle. There is, however, no evidence in confirmation of this opinion, which is founded only on the similarity of the names. The Greek Menologies say that Eutyches, or Eutychius, was a native of Sebastopol, and that after the death of S. John, he attached himself to S. Paul ! ! — a wonderful blunder. He may have followed S. Paul, and on his death have attended to S. John at Ephesus. The Menology gives an account of his tortures, probably apocryphal.
