Apolytikion in the First Tone
Seraphim of Fanari, Arsenios of Elassonas, in the company of Parthenios and Nicholas of Vounenis, together with Damianos the Wise and Constantine of Kapoua of good repute, and Dionysios with Akakios, let us greatly exalt with odes and hymns. Glory to them who crowned us, glory to them who sanctified us, glory to them who worked all types of healings for us.
