Jeron refused to join the army and left his blind mother. When he was caught, he was taken to Melitina with the others. Before the prince, everyone confessed Christ, except for Victor, Jeron's cousin, who apostatized. They were all cut down in 298. A certain Chrysanthemum buys Hieron's severed head, buries it and builds a church over it. And Jeron's severed hand was taken to his blind mother.
