From Symeon Metaphrastes, Life and Martyrdom of Lucian of Antioch, PG 114.405a, also published as an appendix to Philostorgius, ed. Bidez (ed. 3 Winkelmann) p.190 line 23. For this Lucian, see lambda 685. In the episode in question two young men are suffering a nasty form of martyrdom; the younger dies first, then the older embraces him and dies also.
