SAINT HIPPIAS, MARTYR OF EGYPT
Saint Hippias is one of the 32 Egyptian martyrs who feature in the work of the Bollandists* on February 9, and of whom they remark that the names of the 32 Egyptian Martyrs on February 9 bear striking resemblance to those of the group of 37 Egyptian martyrs mentioned on January 18 (II. 294).
