HIDE TROPARIAHoly Martyrs Trophimus, Sabbatius and Dorymedon, Troparion in Tone VIII
God Who is glorified in Trinity hath glorified a trinity of
martyrs:/ Trophimus, Sabbatius and Dorymedon./ For, believing in Him, they cast
down the enemy.// By their supplications, O Christ God, have mercy upon us.
Kontakion of the martyr in Tone VIII "As the
firstfruits"
As the foundation of athletes and confirmation of piety/ the
Church doth honour and glorify thy luminous suffering,/ O right wise and
glorious Trophimus, ever-hymned and blessed athlete.// With those who suffered
with thee ask cleansing for those who hymn thee, in that thou art invincible. |

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.
