HIDE TROPARIAHoly Martyrs Menas, Hermogenes & Eugraphus of Alexandria,
Troparion, Tone VIII
Having mortified the fiery forms and movements of the passions by abstinence,
O martyrs of Christ,/ ye received the grace to dispel the ailments of the
infirm,/ and, living even after your death, to work miracles!/ O truly
most glorious wonder! Bare bones pour forth healing!// Glory to the only God
and Creator!
Kontakion, Tone I "The choir of the angels"
Together let us all honor with sacred and sweet hymnody,/ the wondrous Menas,
the godly Hermogenes and Eugraphus,/ as ones who rendered honor unto the Lord,/
who suffered for Him, attained unto the choirs of the incorporeal in the
heavens,// and pour forth miracles.
Kontakion, Tone IV "Having been lifted up"
The right melodious sound of thy words,/ leading Hermogenes up from the abyss
of perdition, set him on the rock of life;/ and Eugraphus, having denounced the
emperor,/ hath his glorious head severed, rejoicing.// And do thou earnestly
pray, O Menas, that all that honor thee with love be saved.

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.
