Some believe that the commemoration of August 4 celebrates the day of their surrection, while that of October 22 commemorates the day of their second death. Others believe that the memory of he Holy Seven Youths of Ephesus is unnecessarily mentioned on October 22 by some synaxarists. **) There is some confusion about the names of some of the Holy Youths. As mentioned above, Antoninus is sometimes referred to as John. However, according to others, Exacustodianus is sometimes referred to as Konstantinos. | ||

The name Gus as a nickname for Konstantinos, is an anglicisation used primarily by Greek expatriates. However, etymologically the names Gus and Konstantinos have no relation. In origin, Gus is a short form of August or Angus. | |
