Abstract

This paper analyses the brief hagiography of Saint Irenaeus, the first historically verified bishop of Sirmium, which was recorded in an Ethiopian synaxarium. This hagiography is completely unknown to our professional community, and it has not even been used in analyses by foreign researchers exploring the topic of the life and suffering of this bishop of Sirmium. The paper will present a translation of this hagiography with explanatory notes, emphasising the likely sources of its origin and the analysis of the structure of the very appearance of bishop Irenaeus's suffering in the Ethiopian synaxarium.
