Thus, some translations such as the NIV translate the phrase as "our brother Quartus". ==Hymns== Troparion (Tone 3) Holy Apostles, Erastus, Olympas, Herodian, Sosipater, Quartus and Tertius, entreat the merciful God, to grant our souls forgiveness of transgressions. Kontakion (Tone 2) Illumined by divine light, O holy apostles, you wisely destroyed the works of idolatry. When you caught all the pagans you brought them to the Master and taught them to glorify the Trinity.
