HIDE TROPARIAMartyr Theodotus of Ancyra , Troparion, Tone IV
Having partaken of the apostolic way of life,/
And becoming their successor to the throne,/
You have discovered in the practice of the virtues/
The way to divine contemplation./
Therefore dispensing the word of truth/
You have also suffered to the shedding of blood for the sake of the faith,//
O holy martyr Theodotus, entreat Christ our God to save our souls.
Kontakion, Tone I
O blessed Theodotus,/
You were truly a brilliant star enlightening all creation/
With your gift of wonders/
And your sacred suffering./
Therefore celebrating today your radiant memory,//
In gladness of heart we magnify Christ.
Holy Martyrs Kyriaki, Valeria and Maria, Troparion, Tone IV
In their sufferings, O Lord,/ Thy martyrs received imperishable crowns from
Thee our God;/ for, possessed of Thy might,/ they set at nought the tormentors
and crushed the feeble audacity of the demons.// By their supplications save
Thou our souls.
Kontakion, Tone II
Cleaving to the faith of Christ/ and loving the unfeigned promises of God,/
looking for eternal life and the blessedness of paradise,/ ye did steadfastly
endure torture and did fervently bow your necks beneath the sword;/ wherefore,
ye have been crowned by the hand of the Lord, O Kyriaki, Valeria and Maria,/ and
your memory is glorious.// O passion-bearers, entreat ye Christ God, the Judge
of the contest, for them that faithfully honor your struggles.

Typikon Signs
 vigil for great feasts; a more festive service where all of the unfixed hymns are dedicated to the feast.
 "vigil" to a certain saint when All Night vigil is celebrated. The order of the service is similar to a Polyeleos (magnification) service, in that small vespers, great vespers and matins are combined (from this comes the vigil) and that there is the blessing of breads and the anointing with oil at the end of matins.
 "cross", "Polyeleos", "with the Polyeleos", "Polyeleos service", that is the type of service during which the "Polyeleos" (Praise/Magnification) is sung during matins (the majestic singing of the 134 and 135 psalms with verses); in addition, during this service there is a reading from the Gospel, the prokeimenon, gradual antiphons, the canon with 8 troparions, the praises and Great Doxology are sung, and during vespers "Blessed is the man" is sung (first "Glory" of the 1st kathisma), there is an entrance, Old Testament readings (parameia) and during lityia all of the verses may be sung to the saint.
 "doxology", "with doxology" during this service to the saint it is proper to sing the Great Doxology at the end of matins (in services of a lower rank, the doxology is read), also at this service are sung several Sunday Theotokions, sedalions after the kathisma (psaltery reading) to the saint, the katavasia during the canon, also at the end of matins are sung the praise verses, the Great Doxology, and the entire ending of matins follows the order of a feast.
 "six verse", "up to six"; all six stikhera of "Lord, I cry" are sung to the saint, there is a stikhera for "Glory" of the Apotischa for both vespers and matins; troparion to the saint, and the canon of matins is sung to the saint in six troparions.
, , no sign "without a sign"; the most ordinary, daily service to a saint, to whom it is customary to sing only three stikhera at "Lord I cry" and the canon of matins in four troparions. There may not be a troparion to the saint.
