O Diomedes, as a healer of bodily sickness, / you also heal the soul by the word of truth. / You received this gift from God, / and you always help those who suffer from various diseases. / You were radiant with the grace of martyrdom; / therefore you preserve those who cry to you: / “Glory to Him Who glorified you. / Glory to Him Who crowned you. / Glory to Him Who, through you, works healings for all.”

You were skilled in the science of healing and wisely chose the assembly of holy contestants; / O blessed Diomedes; / as a glorious herald of Christ our God, / you are the adornment of the Unmercenary Saints, / and the protector of those who cry to you: / “Be the physician of us your servants, O wise one.”
Kontakion — Tone 2
As a true and invincible Martyr, / you became the guardian of the heavenly mysteries of piety and grace, O wondrous Diomḗdēs, / having overcome the torturer and becoming victorious, / you were honored with crowns of victory.
