Iconographer: Vranos Nik.Commemorates on: July 20Elias was from Thisbe or Thesbe, a town of Galaad (Gilead), beyond the Jordan.

This great and venerable father of ours Euthymios lived during the reign of king Gratian in 377. He came from Melitine, which lies in Armenia, and was the son of pious and faithful parents, who were called Paul and Dionysia.
