Résumé

The purpose of this article is to answer the question of what the earliest Greek sources say about how the forty martyrs of Sebaste died. The article discusses each of these sources together with the context of their origin, if possible. The presented analysis concerns the sources’ accounts on the manner of the martyrs’ death: whether by immersion in water or by exposure to frost. The article presents the emergence of two different traditions about the way the martyrs died along with an assessment of their credibility.
